    was thinking of changing over to a Delco EST system from points....

    You wouldnt feel it, because the advance kicks in sooner than a mechanical advance. for example, on the 3.0 4-banger, you set timing at -2 with the shunt. however at idle, you will see the unit at about 10 degrees BTDC.

    One fuel line to two engines

    you would think so, however it doesnt. also, a primer bulb on I/O's is not allowed. the OP has two outboards. so it could work. the cheesy flap check in the primer bulbs work for a while to prevent issues, however can fail, especially if the main motor is an I/O and a 3-way marine fuel...
