Re: distributor replacement M360
Sea trial with new coils, new distributors and new muffler went very well. First time I have been able to see 4000+ rpm’s. Never stalled once after coming into the harbor. It’s been a long battle finding the root cause of this problem.

Spare parts
After I changed out my distributors and coils for new Pertronix units I have two Ignition control modules, two coils for a ballast resistor system, two Prestolite distributors, and three dual resistor ballast resistors I can part with if anyone needs them for a minimal cost.

Re: distributor replacement M360
Engines running great! New muffler installed $360 in case anyone needs to know. Time for sea trial this weekend to see if this was all worth it. Anyone need two 12v coils for ballast resistor system? Anyone need 3 ballast resistors or ecu units and two prestolite distributors? I will make you a grea...

Re: Blown muffler
After looking at the volume of water coming out of it I will need to replace it. My back deck lifts up. Still not an easy task.

Re: distributor replacement M360
Finally figured out the correct firing order for starboard from reversing the port firing order. Then all was well and engine runs great until I saw water coming in from a crack in the muffler! When it rains it pours with a boat!

Blown muffler
Well I finally got the new distributor going and my M360’s run great in my F32. Then I noticed water coming in the bilge at a good rate. Muffler cracked and leaking water.!!
Anyone experienced this or have a repair suggestion or know where to get new muffler? Was it a difficult repair job?

Re: distributor replacement M360
I’m on starboard engine that rotates clockwise. Both distributors rotate clockwise on the 360’s as most of us already know.

Re: distributor replacement M360
I removed the ballast resistor and jumpered across both connectors to the ballast resistor at each end virtually connecting all four wires. I wanted to do this until I prove the thing works before I cut off the connectors and join all four wires and connect them.

Re: distributor replacement M360
What about the voltage regulator box do I still need that plugged in? I can't get this thing to fire up. I have the #1 lined up with the rotor on the compression stroke and the correct firing order but can't get her to fire? If I unplug the factory module I get no spark. When I crank her I only get ...

Re: distributor replacement M360
What about the four or five pin connector to the ignition module do I need that plugged in or not?

Re: Chrysler 318, 360, 383, 400, 440 Distributor
Bob can you help me out with wiring a pertronix distributor and coil on my M360. I bypassed the resistor but what wires stay connected to my new flamethrower coil? I know the distributor where the red and black wires from the distributor wire go and I assume the plug that went to my old distributor ...
