Engineered Marine Products 300-00865 Ignition Contact Point Set for Volvo Penta Engines

The Engineered Marine Products 300-00865 Contact Point Set is a replacement ignition component designed for Volvo Penta marine engines. This contact set is engineered for 1973 and later 6-cylinder 170 HP and V8 182-330 HP GM-based Volvo Penta engines.

Contact breaker points are electrical switches found in the ignition systems of spark-ignition engines, automatically operated by a cam driven by the engine. The points interrupt the current flowing in the primary winding of the ignition coil, and when the current stops flowing, the resulting collapse of the magnetic field induces a high voltage in the secondary winding to fire the spark plugs.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement for Volvo Penta marine engines with conventional ignition systems
• Precision-manufactured contact points for reliable ignition performance
• Designed for 6-cylinder and V8 GM-based marine engines
• Essential maintenance component for optimal engine operation

Since contact points operate frequently, they are subject to wear, causing erratic ignition, making regular replacement important for maintaining reliable engine performance. This OEM-quality replacement ensures proper ignition timing and efficient combustion in your Volvo Penta marine engine.
