Hi! I have a 1984 Ski Nautique 2001 I just bought. I'm changing the distributor over. Was wondering what you guys thought with the YLM554DV optic eye verse the YLU554DV magnetic breakerless? I originally ordered a cap and rotor and elctronic conversion kit for the prestolite distributor that was in the boat originally. The conversion was back ordered about two weeks. Went to put it in and it was to big to fit down into the distributor. The cap also wouldn't fit. So sent them back to Summit and ordered a new Mallory distributor. Kept telling the guy it was reverse rotation. Got it and it was standard. Figured no big deal it said to just swap the gear in the directions. The boat is far from my house up at a summer cabin. Get up there and the old gear wouldn't budge off the old distributor. Took the roll pin completely out. Soaked it it PBblaster When it wouldn't move I tried using a puller on it. Finally chipped a tooth off the gear. I soaked it for several days while I was up there and the sucker still didn't move at all.
So the YLM554DV has been ordered for two weeks. It was being drop shipped from Mallory. I called this morning to see when it was going to ship. Now backordered until middle of November! B.S. So Summit has the YLU554DV in stock. They will split the price difference with me on that one. Or Mallory gave me the gear number for the reverse gear. That's in stock to. Not sure which is the better way to go?
Thanks,
Charlie
