I am going to speculate that while the engine itself was overhauled, they re-used (without rebuilding) the Mag's, Vac Pump, Alternator, Prop and Hoses without replacement. Firewall Forward will usually mean all of the Aux systems were rebuilt or replaced with new as are hoses, harnesses and wiring. But this is a guess. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 18,962 Likes: 3 Member/15,000 posts | | Member/15,000 posts Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 18,962 Likes: 3 | I thought I felt someone watching me on "Barnstormers"!

Thanks, your opinions pretty much confirms what I thought.

Bill Carl, I think Bill set us up. He knew the answer, yet asked the question to see if we did. I think the forum should require prior notice on pop quizzes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 18,962 Likes: 3 Member/15,000 posts | | Member/15,000 posts Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 18,962 Likes: 3 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 269 Member/250+posts | | Member/250+posts Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 269 | Jeff, Carl,
Honest, no set up, I simply wanted to know if what I thought was correct from some of you who are much more knowledgable about some of the terms.
