PCM RP173024 is a genuine OEM Pleasurecraft Marine tune-up kit for Ford 302 and 351 marine engines, 1986 and earlier, using the Prestolite clip-down distributor cap setup. Current parts sources consistently identify this kit as the pre-1987 version, distinct from later screw-down cap kit RP173024A.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Pleasurecraft Marine part number RP173024.
- Fits Ford 302 and 351 PCM marine engines, 1986 and prior.
- Designed for Prestolite clip-down cap distributor systems.
- Kit contents: points, condenser, rotor button, distributor cap, and gasket.
Engine Compatibility
The strongest supportable fitment for RP173024 is PCM Ford 302 and 351 Windsor marine engines from 1986 and earlier that use the Prestolite clip-down cap distributor. This is the earlier ignition-service kit and should not be confused with RP173024A, which is the 1987-and-later screw-down cap version.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Match this kit to the distributor style first before ordering. On older PCM Ford engines, the difference between clip-down and screw-down cap versions matters more than the engine family alone, especially around the 1986/1987 break.
When This Part Needs Replacement
This tune-up kit is typically used during routine ignition maintenance or when hard starting, rough idle, weak spark, misfire, inconsistent timing, or visible wear in the cap, rotor, points, or condenser shows up during inspection. That service guidance is a practical inference from the kit contents and its intended ignition-maintenance role.
Installation Notes
Before ordering, confirm that the engine still uses the Prestolite clip-down cap distributor and not the later screw-down style. Compare the existing distributor cap hold-down method before installation, since that is the clearest break between RP173024 and RP173024A.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current reviewed sources continue to list RP173024 as the correct PCM OEM number for the 1986-and-prior clip-down cap setup. The most important related number is RP173024A, which is the later 1987-and-newer screw-down cap kit rather than a direct same-application substitute.
Parts Desk Insight
With older PCM Ford tune-up kits, the easy mistake is ordering by engine size only. Checking whether the distributor uses a clip-down or screw-down cap usually saves the most time, because that one detail determines whether RP173024 is the right kit.
