I just finished assembling my C1C6 with a forward facing fuel servo. All looks
good. No interference with the engine mount on an RV-8.
I made a 3/4 thick adapter plate to adapt the fuel servo to the sump. All ready
to mount on airframe.
Thanks to all who provided expertise...

if the eng mount is modified the c1c sump will fit. its a secet weapon, slightly
tuned, lighter weight and fwd mounted injector. free horsepower!
i did this on a g202 - 200 hp with straight valve cylinders (to save weight) airflo
injection ... 32" map on t/o ... sea level on a cool day. (monte barrett

Greg,
Thanks for the nugget! This confirms what Bart had said regarding interference
with the engine mount. It appears that I will have an extra 'C' sump as I will
be purchasing the 'A' sump and pipes.
One question remains. Charlie posted a link to IDGs Picasa web album that shows
a RV-8 engine installation with an IO-360 parallel valve with a 'C' sump
machined to fit the fuel servo to the front. It appears there is clearance
between the rear of the sump and the engine mount.

Still head scratching...

HOBBS Meter: 2452 Construction Hours
Its official! RV-8 N998RV was officially signed off by the FAA this afternoon,
April 22 2010 at 1:15 PM PDT! Yahoo! I was issued my Special Airworthiness
Certificate and Repairman Certificate and the obligatory entry was made in the
aircraft's logbook. A special Phase 1 test-flight area was agreed upon and extends
from Livermore to Stockton to Merced to Lost Banos and back to Livermore.
Next week I go up to Oregon to get my Transition Training from Mike Seager ( http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/trainfly.htm ) and after that, its time to test fly!
YAHOO!!! I can't believe its signed off and the test flight is this close! How
