This precision-engineered cap ensures reliable spark distribution and optimal ignition performance in demanding marine environments.

Key Features:

  • Designed for 1983-84 MerCruiser V6 185 HP GM and MIE engines
  • Compatible with Prestolite screw-down cap distributors

Easy to use

Nice and quick

I ordered a set of inner tie rods for my car from Autoplicity and found their prices to be the lowest online for the brand I was looking for. Items were ship out in 2 business days from the original manufacturer. Shipping prices were kind of on the expensive end considering the package size and weight so if Autoplicity adjust their shipping prices to be more competitive, I think their service and pricing would be hard to beat!

Easy
