4 weeks sounds about right, but believe me it will be worth the wait. I
bought a 4" extension for my lycoming, SAE-2 on crank end and SAE-1 on prop
end.
An absolute masterpiece. no visible toolmarks and heavy black anodizing, it
also comes with stainless drive lugs and a thick crushplate. T

You might try Motion Industries, there is probably one in columbia. I have

Dan,
Should work fine, total electrical system failure might still allow the
engine to run, if you are running a magneto and if the ellison can run on very
low
pressure. by the way .7psi = approx 2.3 +- ft head pressure, may possibly
require a little more as all my figures are based on ft/wat
I plan to continue to look for ways to cool things off while I build some
time on the new engine.
Orma,
I realize your new engine is considerably larger than what you originally had
in the KR. I know it will create more heat due to being of higher
horsepower. You may have to enlarge the air

I have a Nissan pickup with the z24 engine. I know it is dual ignition (8
spark plugs) don't know if it has 2 separate timing sensors, but pretty sure it
has a two level distributor cap and rotary button to provide separate high
voltage circuits. I can look into it in a day or

Orma,
The new bigger, boosted engine may require much more fuel than before.
Perhaps the existing fuel system can't supply the need. Just an idea. Here

Sounds like your compressor is probably OK. Overhauling it will not solve
