    Old ford 302 no spark

    What is this in my drive oil reservoir

    Probably not into the drive unless you had a bad input shaft seal, but definitely into the bellows. You need to pull the drive ASAP and check out the u-joints, gimble bearing, etc

    Old ford 302 no spark

    You'll have to be a bit more specific, but the wire from the choke to the coil should be a resistor wire that will get hot. You'll get less than 12v to the coil exterior when cranking. Looks like a tan wire from the solenoid supplies the full 12v only when cranking. The wiring looks a bit...

    You're missing that an electric motor is inherently more efficient than an ICE. also transmission is electricity is easier than using more fossil fuels to transport gas

    There are definitely downsides to all energy producing technologies. The ultimate solution, which of course most of the "free marketeers" (who for some reason seem to be the ones against renewable energy) balk at, is to pass the embedded costs along to the energy producers. If coal-burners were...

    Is it worth it?

    It won't help performance or economy. It will make maintenance significantly easier. I converted my old engine and it was worth it--there's always plenty of other stuff to fix

    Mercruiser 4.3 keeps burning ignition coil

    I think he's saying the coil isn't actually dead, it's the switch cutting spark. I'm curious if the OP tried swapping one of the "bad" coils back in
