Looks like they got rid of the Opti spark for the Marine engines????? Why has this never been talked about?

Maybe its hard to find parts but it looks like that could easily be used for a DIS ignition system.


nevermind found someone talking about it a few years ago

That coilpack is definitely the northstar part. I have the exact same piece on my car due to buying Delteq something like 13 years ago. Delteq of course, used the optical part of the Opti for a trigger instead. I'm guessing theirs is a simpler, less tunable trigger since marine use doesn't really need variable timing so much.

True I didnt think about that, not much light throttle cruising on a boat. Ive been searching and these seem to be really rare witch is probably why of all the boats ive been around and worked on ive never seen one. So parts would be hard to come by or expensive anyways.

From what ive read indmar was the only one that did it. May have just been relabeled as a Mercury

Yeah I looked all thru the books that I have. Didnt see any Merc LT1's . But Im probably wrong.
