If you still have the merc TB distributors you may want to just keep them. The MSD will rust out, I have seen many pictures. I have computer controlled timing and I use the Marine DUI distributor. The automotive distributors are not approved for marine use.

I have run the Marine grade MSD stuff for years and it all rusts and corrodes. Just replaced the distributor and the box. Their coils seem to hold up, but nothing else. But I still would not run anything else on the blower motors. I use to run magnetos, but they were a pain in rump, also.
