HelloThanks for the information. I did purchase a "run out" Slick magneto for thecore charge and for test fitting.I made the parts to hook it up to the model A per plans. To test it out, themag drive, I used my lathe to drive the mag and this "run out" mag knockedme on my butt. I may end up using it. If it isn't too hard to adapt, I mayuse the the right rotation mag as you suggested.Mike Madrid>several years ago, at Brodhead, there was a model A piet that had a magneto>mounted onto the side of the engine, where the governer was mounted on the>truck and industrial model A engines. if you run the mag from the>crankshaft, as the origional piet was, you do need a left rotation mag. if>you put the mag on the engine to run from the camshaft gear, as the>governer did, you can get by with a right rotation, as the mag is mounted>with the distributor cap toward the propeller. from the cockpit, the>crankshaft would rotate clockwise, driving the camshaft counter-clockwise.>the cam would then drive the mag clockwise, but with the mag drive also>facing the cockpit, it would drive in the correct rotation. i took several>pictures 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.
