Also, make sure you're looking for a marine version. You want to make sure any spark-suppression that should be there is there and that it has an appropriate mechanical advance for a marine application.

Re: Changing points in 1976 mercruiser 233
It's a little work, but you can verify TDC by making sure the engine is positioned to fire on #1 (by looking at the rotor in the distributor), then removing the spark plug and sticking something in there to verify where TDC is. Then find the timing mark on the damper and MAKE a mark on the flywheel cover to indicate where TDC is. Then, you can either buy a "timing tape" that wraps around your damper which shows degrees or you can measure and mark the damper with degree increments (a little math, but doable).
Here's what the Crusader flywheel timing looks like:
