Subject: Engines-List: Rear Prop Gov. Questions


I searched the archives, but couldn't find answers to these  questions.

I am thinking of putting an IO-360-A1A engine in my RV-7A.  It  has been 
flying with an IO-360-A1D6 which has a front mounted governor.

Could someone on the list please tell me approximately what the thickness  of 
the rear mounted prop governor adapter pad is on an IO-360-A1A?  I have  an 
old one that measures about 2 1/16 inches.  Is there a thinner one  available?

The dimension I need is from the accessory case to the prop  governor itself.

Also, will the McCauley governor off the left front of my IO-360-A1D6 work  
on the rear of the -A1A?  As far as I can tell there is about 3 percent  
difference in the drive ratio -- 0.866 vs 0.895.  I would assume that the  governor

could be adjusted for this difference.  Is there some other reason  why it 
won't work?

Thanks,
Dan Hopper
