Re: 225 distributors
Could you give us more information? Engine type (v8?) and year of manufacture?
I have never heard of a Buick 225 engine. Do you mean engines out of an old Buick Electra 225 (which could have been a Buick 350, 400, 430 or 455 cid)
The only 225 cid engine I know of is a Chrysler slant 6 cyl.
That being said, marine engines retained a non-electronic points and condensor type ignition for many years after the automotive equivalents of these engines went to electronic ignition.
For example I have a 1983 OMC 140 hp, which uses a GM (chevy) 2.9 L 4cyl engine, (which is the same as a 2.5 Iron Duke block) Any auto electronic distributor would drop right in, but the points system is more simple and robust, to fix and maintain, especially if the boat gets flooded.
