I am hoping someone can tell me the specs on checking the coils and stator on a 1971 7.5 Mercury ,that is currently getting no spark to the plugs.
I am waiting on a manual to arrive .
Thanks very much !

Be sure to check or replace the point insulator blocks they are about 80% of the problems with this system.

Thanks very much Laddies. I will check the point insulator blocks as well
The pic is showing the 1974 to 1985 system..are they the same as the 1971 ?
Thank again, very much .
