I recently bought a boat that has some issues. It has what I believe to be an original OMC outdrive which would make it an '87. The engine is a 5.7 chevy vortec engine. Mid 90's to the best of my knowledge. I don't think the distributor on it is a marine distributor.
The problem is the shift interrupt switch does not stumble the engine at all. I have tested continuity on the switch and seems to test good. This distributor has the coil built right into the cap. Totally baffled at this distributor and know nothing about it unfortunately. I am quite certain that this is not the type of distributor to work with the shift interrupt system. Should I be looking into a different type of distributor one preferrably with an external coil for starters? Any advice on what to do from here would be greatly appreciated.
