Listed as an A65-1. Note the exhaust ports coming out of the tops of the cylinder heads, and the spark plugs relatively far down the cylinder head, and going in at right angles to the cylinder bore. Also, max RPM is listed as 2850, rather than the 2350 of an A65-8. Of course, with only a 54" diameter on the prop, 2850 RPM might be possible, for a while.

The "-1" is only single ignition. Continental built this up until 1939. There are very few of the actual "-1"'s because they had just come out with the 65hp that year and the feds came out with the requirement for dual ignition. I think some time in June of that year. So there was only a couple of months, i think, that the A65-1 was built. They then went to the "-3". The "-3" is the same as the "-8" only it has up exhaust. This one has been converted into the dual ignition "-3". Aeronca was the one that used this the most. The prewar Chiefs used them. A couple of the other manufacturers used them for a short time too.
