>I've just overhauled an O200 Continental for it, and am wondering what the final prop selection any of you using them have come up with is??

I'm running an Ed Sterba 60D X 64P on my 0-200. I think it's a bit more tired than other 0-200's in KR's as it has 1850 hours since factory overhaul. I started with a 68 pitch but couldn't get the RPM I wanted. I had it repitched to a 64. I get 2650 rpm full throttle at cruise and generally cruise at that power setting. When I get wheel covers install I'll probably get another 10 mph and some additional rpm. My 0-200 is "stock" the way it came from the C-150. Many of the KR's running 0-200's have them putting out 120+ hp and thus need more prop. They have upped the compresson and advanced the timing and "require" 100LL. I'm running 87 oct auto fuel. I figured "stock" and simple was more reliable. I also like the price differance between the two fuels. Start on the high end with the pitch. You can repitch it flatter but you can't add pitch later.
