Was getting 3400 before install, now only getting 2500 on both engines. Per Pertronix techs, I checked ground to distributor,also check voltage across coil. All within specs called for. Looking at Jeff's ignition diagram http://www.marinetteboat.com/forum/resource.ashx?image=112 I spliced Prpl/Yel(solenoid) wire and Prpl(ignition) to bypass ballast resistor...looking at diagram I see I am still powering the LtBl/Tan wire to Ignition module...I don't know if my 1985 wiring is the same as this diagram. May have wiring issue where the ignition module is still in the loop with my new distributor somehow More details to follow if I can get to the boat soon . 1985 Marinette 29 Sedan bridge Twin 318s, 660 hours New Edelbrock 1409 carbs (working like a charm) Original Electronic Ignition, Blaster 2 coils, 90 deg plug wire universal kit cut to fit Raw water system Freshwater always Located Pickwick Lake, TN,MS,AL RETRO BOATS ARE COOL If the guys on this forum take their time to help you, have the courtesy to update your thread with the resolution.
