"I have a 79 searay w/350 omc stringer.It currently has points.Can I change the distributor to elec. Or can I put an MSD ignition in.It has a shift interupter now...also..Would it be possible to install "twin"sticks{throttle,shift}Meaning I could back the throttle down low to enguage the prop? I have had so many problems with this setup!!Any ideas would be helpful."
 
"79 didn't have an ESA. 19

"79 didn't have an ESA. 1982 the first year the ESA was introduced.
That said, CDI/Rapair makes an electronic ignition compatible ESA to replace the original. It's only about $75 and works great with Pertronix and other electronic systems.
Putting a pertronix setup in your current distributor is the easy way to delete points."
