ignition question on my 5.7 serial number d376336

[anthony1]

So i get this boat and the wiring is a basket case , however i have figured most of it out.

However there is the thunderbolt lv ignition system. The distributor cap on the boat has not a place for the coil, and the coil was missing but the clamp for the coil was attached to the boat.

Here is the photo of the delco remey distributor cap that was on the boat.

I have dont have the wiring diagram for this motor, i did find one but i dont think is right as the distributor on the wiring skematic that i have has a coil with a wire going to the distributor

So my question is does anyone have the proper wiring diagram for this here motor, and is that the proper distributor cap on it. Also where can i get the wire plugin/harness for the thunder bolt part (its missing_).

and is that the proper distributor cap on it

Nope,.... That's Not a T-Bolt IV distributor, hence why it don't look right,....

Marine distributors Don't have a vacuum advance dashpot either,....

Look into the Delco Voyager conversion Marine ignition system,....

As Good, 'n much cheaper than replacin' the T-Bolt IV unit,...
