This Sierra Marine Ignition Conversion Kit converts Prestolite 8-cylinder marine engines equipped with clip-down distributor caps from traditional breaker points to a modern electronic ignition system.
This upgrade eliminates point wear and mechanical timing drift, resulting in faster starts, smoother idle, and improved overall ignition reliability.
It replaces OEM 9-26903 and provides a simple, drop-in installation using the existing distributor — no external ignition box required.
Manufactured by Sierra Marine, this kit is built with high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials designed for long service life in harsh marine environments.
