New to the group. I have a 1988 Four Winns, 470 Mercruiser, just replaced the points ignition system with the PerTronix 1146A and Flamethrower Coil. Put everything together per the instructions. Went to fire the boat up and the rotor button broke internally where it mounts to the distributor shaft. I take the ring off of the shaft put the rotor button back on the shaft and no fire. Any suggestions? Thanks for any assistance.
