If your timing tab looks exactly like this, thrse are the btdc #’s vs indentions
Don’t pay attention to that 6 poiting at timing tab. That’s a reference to just the timing tab itself for that page in the manual.

Hy crew...can sombody tell me what are the proper spark plugs heat value for mercruiser 7.4 n/a

SB 05-24-2022 12:48 PM

MR43T for most of them. So, #43’s for acdelco plugs. If using NGK plugs, many people use #6 heat range.

Fuel
 
We don’t measure fuel # the same in Europe as in US. US87 (Mon) and Euro95 (Ron) are nearly the same. Ron, Mon, Pon,
In Europe we usually measure in Ron and in US you measure in Mon.
