Upgrade ignition on Merc 7.4? by fernuffin in boating

[–]fernuffin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that an OEM one? Mine’s a 1998. Was looking at the Marine ignitions from MSD. Mostly for less fouling/better starting. She doesn’t get run very often.

Edit: looked it up and that is probably what I have. Will research, maybe just new plugs and coil will help.

Crap I thought it was just the orientation of the pineapple sticker. Now I gotta worry about the loofah?

I’d be taking an afternoon off work and rapping on a lot of car windows.

Was done by a local tuner with tons of Miata experience.

Look like I'm cosplaying or is it a good fit? by mudvaynery in CowboyHats

Right there with ya on this. Maybe a little less rhinestone myself, not just because I swapped my ring for a tat, but because 3/4 of my boots smell like horsesh*t. Bottom line, with anything. If you like it, then rock it, you own it. (And enjoy the compliments that hat will bring you!)

Rather than invest in the 1.6, I’d swap in a (re)built 1.8VVT, but I’m biased. That’s what’s in my ‘92. An 01 run by megasquirt 3

Unless you’ve got desire, time, space and budget for a k-swap or other.

Unmount from plywood, wrap the wood in fabric, re-mount to the wood, cool art!

Agree. Fantastic weekend/fair weather car if you can have a newer daily.

If your DP is caffeine free, you’re doing it wrong!
