Was chrysler first with electronic ignition on outboards?

They had it on the 105 early, 66 or 67, the first ones had a hummmmm sound, the second one in 70 -71 without the hum.

Chrysler came out with a CD ignition box in 1967 but it still used points as the sensor to trigger the spark. They didnt go to full "pointless" ignition system till 1974.

They continued to se a distributor without points until 1977 when thet came out with the first solid state , all under the flywheel ingnition system on the 2 cylinder 60 hp. After that all the other nodels followed suit within a year or two.

Very cool! The injected Chrysler is on Gary Ferguson's Twister II with the McCulloch mids & lowers.

THATS A trick Chizzler. Everything about that setup is unique. Gear-cases, mid sections, No stacks just deflector bounce plates. Fuel injections. Excellent.
