Does anybody know what the power difference between an 81 and an 82. is Is the power difference accross the R.P.M. range or is one better than the other at high R.P.M. Would appreciate any info. Jude

I left mine soaking in a bucket of oil overnight.Worked perfectly. Jude

Now you will know why the British never built computers ,they coulden't figure out how to incorporate the oil leak. Nice Sunday driver but a box of trouble (expensive)Jude

Thanks to all for the help.Problem solved and running better than ever.Thanks in particular to Mudisfun and Skip for solving the problem and Moosans who supplied the bits.I will post some pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it.Skip wanted some info on the plane,Its basically an Avid A model (similar to a Cub) that someone abandoned,with a lot of work to be finished.I'm copying other peoples and largely making up the rest since plans or parts are not available.More later. Again thanks to all. Jude

We got nothing around for 500 miles but big flat empty cornfields. Jude

Is there any way to time the camshafts on an 82 when you have no flywheel or bellhousing timing marks to start with.I converted the engine for aircraft,threw away the bellhousing,made a light weight flywheel,mounted this on my crankshaft pulley, fitted my starter on the front of the engine,Suzuki alternator,holly carb etc and everything worked fine until I bust my timing belt driving sprocket.Now I'm screwed.There are no soobs that I know of near me,Otherwise I could line up the flywheel on a similar car with the marks and see where the camshaft marks finish up .A chisel mark on my crank would do for future reference.Any ideas anybody?I have run out.Any help appreciated.

It's not enough to send power to the coil,you have to tee it off and supply the distributor also .The return from the distributor goes to the other terminal on the coil. Jude
