So confused about DELCO EST replacements
- Thread starter dwarren
- Start date
No, there is a standard LH model and a separate RH model of Delco Voyager EST kits. The RH is about $100 more as I recall . Some say the difference is only the direction the bevel gear is cut at the bottom of the shaft for the oil pump , but I can't confirm that and preferred to get what the mfg offered for that RH engine.
I had both LH and RH ones installed on my previous set of I/Bs and they were superb. Much better than the Delco's on my newer blue MPI engines.
My winter yard installed the Voyager kits which were very highly recommended by Crusader, so I can't advise as to any installation particulars for those.
Obviously these kits won't solve a problem which is not distributor/coil/cable related, but it sounds like you feel you have eliminated most all other suspects. They would still be a good upgrade anyway , just judging from my having had them for ~~10 yrs.

My boat was stored for the winter off-island when the subject of getting decent electronic distributors came up at the winter yard . After talking directly to Crusader factory I was advised the Voyagers were the only way to go for best results, so the yard ordered them possibly from Crusader, and installed them.
But I think there are at least a couple sources for you .

This one looks a little different and ...may... not be the actual Voyager kit, so personally I would stick to the one above if back in stock now:

That's helpful! You can confirm with a quick crank of each engine while looking at them.
