(Vanremog@aol.com) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:48:42 AM PST US From: Chris Stone Subject: RV-List: Sump fit IO360C1C6 to A1B6 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... chris stone RV-8 Oregon 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.

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. http://picasaweb.google.com/intelligentdesigngroup/FirewallForward#5311619666248489490 Still head scratching... chris stone RV8 Oregon -----Original Message----- >From: Greg >Sent: Apr 7, 2010 12:47 PM >To: rv-list@matronics.com >Subject: RE: RV-List: IO360C1C6 to A1B6 > > >I used a C model sump on my 1st RV-6.
