Say goodbye to thunderbolt 5 forever!
Had intermittent ignition problems on both of my 1996 350 mags for a few seasons...... motors shutting down, voltage drops , limited advance. ....all due to ignition controll module... these things get buggy after 20 years....after 2 seasons of troubleshooting and educating myself about how these modules work i decided......well if the only vital thing these goofy boxes do is advance the timing when needed, i could live without the auto idle adjust nonsense, and 10 degree knock sensing big brother power losses. All of which may have worked well in 96....but were not functioning properly. Carburetors and computers dont play nice.together..... Time to hack it out! As sure as there is gravity on earth a simple mechanical advance system will work...i matched the 350 mag torque curve using the different springs and using the 23 degree green bushing giving me a safe and reliable 31 degrees of total advance. 8 degrees of base timing + 23 = 31........both motors run flawless and ALL my intermittent hard to prove troubles are gone! Thanks .. msd.
No box to mount !!
These ready to run Distributors are great . I have had two of them in two boats for a good while and have yet to have any issues with them . I especially like the fact that there is no ignition box to mount and it makes a cleaner installation .
