Any ideas on how I might find out if the 65-80 or 65-A80 were ever used by the US Military? Confidentially, (as you may have suspected) I am on a mission to get information on the Simmonds fuel pumps. If the US Military ever used this engine, a repair manual was made and can be traced if the aircraft designation is known. The information on the flow bench used by the military to test the Simmonds unit by the military has been located, so one can only assume that a manual was written explaining how to rebuild the injector and flow it on the above mentioned flow bench. As usual, the companies that had the super cheap prices on the lens did not have it in stock and could not guarantee a delivery date, so I will have the lens with me next week, however the cost including UPS freight will be a grand total of $ 482.14. Hope this is OK.

I know the US Army had Queen Airs, but I'm not sure of the Model. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Several years ago we looked into using this engine I think it is called IO-720, for the 2 680FL's we use to have because the GSIO-540's that were on them gave us so much trouble. We never did do the mod and ended up selling the aircraft *YOUR FRIEND, John Towner * Barry Collman wrote: >--> Commander-List message posted by: "Barry Collman" > >Hi Moe, > >Give me a day or two and I'll try and find out.
