well i had the motor re built about a month ago and just got everything back into the boat and ready to go. we re did all the wiring as it looked like a monkey did it the first time. its a miracle that the boat ran at all. anyways we got everything together and went to start it but burned up the resister. 12 volts was going to the distributor but we caught it. bought a pertronix ignitor kit to get rid of the points and put it in last night. still wont start. we have power getting to the coil and into the distributor but no power to the plugs. :screwy: no idea why. :banghead: we shimed the distribtuor as well but still no luck. anybody have a problem like this ? anybody have any ideas ??? just wanna get it on the water

And you replaced the module with the kit right?
Fat fingered from the phone- Corey

id say test the pertronix kit . see if they have a trouble guilde in the manual.

Pull it out and get a HEI distributor and it's a one wire (12v) hook up. Two wires if you run a tach
-
Also do you have 12v when you turn the key to the on position?

we replaced everything. we also tried looking at the guide to see about what to do if it doesnt start. checked all those and still nothing. the most we got was a burp thats it. we checked it and its getting the full 12 volts. the only thing i can think is the secondary on the distributor isnt sending the signal to the plug wires. were gonna try using another distributor today and see if it starts.
iv heard the hei distributors are junk. they crap out all the time.

I never have had a problem with an HEI, it was a standard part on gms for a long time. Plus when they do crap out, you can go to any auto parts store and they will have the parts you are looking for
