Tinman we don’t know what you mean by old. The first year for the QD was 1949. I own a ’51 and a ’53. Both of these old timer run good, a little noisy but they are lighter and they have a little better performance than the average OMC 10 horse. A little short if you compare them to the Mercury’s but they have a gear shift and a remote tank. My 1951 has the common era coils. Earlier QD’s had the push rod points with different coils. I have a set of those early coils if you decide to make the plunge!
