several years ago, at Brodhead, there was a model A piet that had a magnetomounted onto the side of the engine, where the governer was mounted on thetruck and industrial model A engines. if you run the mag from thecrankshaft, as the origional piet was, you do need a left rotation mag. ifyou put the mag on the engine to run from the camshaft gear, as thegoverner did, you can get by with a right rotation, as the mag is mountedwith the distributor cap toward the propeller. from the cockpit, thecrankshaft would rotate clockwise, driving the camshaft counter-clockwise.the cam would then drive the mag clockwise, but with the mag drive alsofacing the cockpit, it would drive in the correct rotation. i took severalpictures of this installation, and will try to locate them and bring to> To: Pietenpol Discussion > Subject: Slick Mag $15 rotation??> Date: Tuesday, July 06, 1999 2:17 AM> > Hello> I received my $15 mags, Slick model number is 4220.
