Mercury ignition w/ knock sensor
Thinking of adapting a mercury ignition off a 95 baja 7.4 (330hp) to my my set up. I have the OMC EEM ignition which limits my RPMs to 4750 & has a knock sensor. Just want to confirm the mercury ignition also has the knock sensor & no rev limiter. With my 502HO cam I believe I should be aiming for closer to 5200rpms if not a little more.

I hated the TBV its great for stock power, but i went with a D.U.I ignition, one wire hook up, and twice the voltage.

Bummer, so I would have to get the mag module for the higher Rev limiter. I actually want the knock sensor, seems like a good safety precaution. Is there a disadvantage I’m not seeing? Does it limit the max timing? I have the vortec heads which I undersatand don't need a lot of timing.
I do have the wire harness, distributer, coil & module so the only thing left is too splice or adapt it to my existing harness.

I was assuming the harness from my dash was different & would need to be spliced into the mercury harness. After taking a closer look they are both a 10 pin connecter & should plug & play.
One module says 806959-1 7.4L Bravo drive, another says AZCA 888749 & then there is a Blue “Mercathode” with 300A3 & 0405 numbers on it. How much do you want for your harness? I’m not sure if this 95 gen V harness would be different then your gen 6. Does your knock sensor mount on the head or block? My current OMC knock sensor is mounted on the head. The guy I got this harness from seemed to think his knock sensor was mounted in one of the freeze plugs.

Wow! You weren’t kidding about those modules. The local dealer wanted $505.00.
It’s a great ignition used on the mags, HP500, 500 Bulldogs & some of the 525sc’s but its cost prohibitive. I’m seeing your point on the DUI ignition.
