I believe your outboard uses Bendix Scintilla coil. (hopefully a club member with good bit of experience with this brand motor can verify). Club member Jim Judkins is the man talk to get a Bendix Scintilla coil. He is a good guy to do business with and he a good standing club member.
Have you tested compression on your motor. Please replace the flywheel and rope sheave and crank it by hand. Please don’t use a power drill to spin it. It will give false high readings. You said you were working with your dad in a motor shop, then he should have compression gauge. Please let us know what the compression reading is.
Your coil will have to be replace. Hopefully Jim can get you fixed up with a coil. Please use copper core 7mm plug wires. You should be able find them at lawn mower shop or tractor supply store. The older tractors used copper core wire. No automobile plug wires.
That should get you started with assessing your motor.
Remember compression, spark, and fuel delivery are key factors to get your motor running.
Hopefully the parts diagram will help you sort things out. It is also helpful when you are taking things apart to take pictures as you go. It help with remembering how things go back together. Also get a bunch of cheap plastic zip locks to organize parts together, so they are not lost. Easy to loose stuff. Label the bag and that will help you stay organized.
