What does your engine tag say? It should have a model number listed.

So confirmation that this is a right hand rotation and I need the following parts (fyi took out the starter and it was filled of gunk/water)?
I have to return the wrong rotation ones to Nautique. http://www.nautiqueparts.com/electronicconversionkitforpro-tecmotors-1.aspx http://www.nautiqueparts.com/starterkitrhreverserotation-permanentmagnetforoldercorrectcraftboatspriorto1989.aspx |

ProTec Ignition Swap
There is no wiring diagram for your spark plug wires. The rotor points at the post of the cylinder on the compression stroke and you follow the wires along with the order. You should be able to definitively trace those wires to the NSS (by the color you sound correct) and then use the typical 70s/80s wiring diagram TRBenj drew up. Why are you getting a new carburetor? |

Get some one that knows how to install it to help you. Will need timing light also. Easy once you have done it a few times but very frustrating if you have not. Firing order looking down on dist. cap. CCW rotation 1 8 4 5 6 2 7 3 |

Depending on how well versed you are with engine electrics, think about the basics. Here's Tim's wiring diagram that should help:

So just sliding the distributor in by rotating the gears on the oil pump/distributor? Once I get the right kit lol
Saw this thread but am looking for a diagram of the distributor cap top with what plugs go to each cylinder. DUI Distributor Issue My other questions (wish I had a picture but don't have access to my boat) but there are (2) yellow/red wires which I assume is going to the neutral safety switch, one is going to the 50 amp break and the other I had to cut off of the old Protec harness. Where do I need to connect this up to? There was also a light blue wire connected to the old Protec harness that unplugged from the harness. PCM Owner Engine Manual |

Just by looking at your old gear, you can confirm it is a reverse rotation engine.
So, yes your engine is reverse rotation. Do a search here on CCF about distributor installation, do a lot of reading and you'll probably understand how to install it and get the firing order right. But after the reading, if you have questions, ask away and you'll get help here

That would be the right one and you wouldn't have to worry about doing gear swaps that can sometimes be not terribly straightforward |

The distributor is the same. All that's needed is the gear and then a R&R on the gear. |

Read this old thread about which direction your engine might or might not rotate
old thread it'll probably confuse you but you have a distributor for a LH rotation engine going by what you posted from White Lake Marine and your engine might be RH rotation as you can see from the link above The best thing you can do is see if your new distributor gear and old one match or if the teeth are cut in opposite directions. LH teeth look like /////// RH teeth are the opposite \\\\\\ If they're different, you'll need a distributor gear for a RH engine, if they're the same it looks like you're just having trouble getting the gears to mesh |

Look at this old thread
It may help, it may confuse you more You can also look at the Discount Inboard Marine website and check out item #41015 which is the conversion kit they sell and there is a wiring diagram better than their hand drawn one in the link above. This all assumes you now have a Mallory electronic distributor like the one in their kit If not, it would be good to know what you have for a distributor and if you have the whole kit |
