Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 6324Q1 tune-up kit gives your ignition system the refresh it needs to fire every cylinder cleanly and efficiently. The new condenser and points restore proper dwell and spark timing, while the rotor ensures consistent current distribution to all plugs. You’ll notice quicker starts, smoother idle, and more stable power across the RPM range.

A fresh ignition tune-up can transform how your MerCruiser feels — eliminating weak spark issues, hesitation, and misfires. It’s a small upgrade that brings big results in both performance and reliability.

Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Quicksilver 6324Q1 is a genuine Mercury Marine kit, made specifically for GM and Ford-built MerCruiser engines using Prestolite ignition systems. Aftermarket parts can vary in resistance, gap, or alignment, which can lead to poor timing and weak spark.

Mercury OEM ignition kits are built with exact tolerances and tested under real marine conditions for heat, vibration, and RFI resistance. Choosing OEM ensures perfect fit, steady spark, and long-lasting dependability.
