I have a gray marine four-85 6 volt engine I would like to know the basic things distributor type/ model? plug type # Points type and part # Gap Dwell Codenser PN and specs Timing Specs and procedure re flywheel degrees retard or advance and verify that # 1 Cylinder is opposite flywheel.Also Coil Specs. My engine started right up when I bought it and it shows 6 volts all around and is getting spark and fuel now I am still getting the same readings but it wont start. Because its so old I want to know if there are replacement parts so I can get the exact matches for the engine. Hope someone can help Regards Bob |

The book i used was Motors truck repair manuel 1960 to 1970 it has a section in the rear on stock and farm engines which gives spec on many differant engines. It does not have a detailed section on serviceing this engine. |
