I needed a forklift part and wasn’t sure which one fit. They asked for the model and serial number, got back to me quickly, and made sure I ordered the right one. Really helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this coil work on a standard MerCruiser distributor? A: Yes, it is designed for Thunderbolt IV and V distributors but may fit other models if the mounting pattern and electrical specs match.
Q: Do I need to replace the spark plug wires at the same time? A: It is recommended to inspect your wires; HEI coils produce higher voltage and worn wires may cause misfire.
