Now that I have the airplane out of the basement I am anxtious to mount the engine. I am trying to to ready for this but have a few questions.
Engine: Lyc 0-360-A1A
1. I am removing the vacumn pump. Vans does not have a cover plate available so I am going to make one out of 3/8" aluminum plate. Is plating over the vacumn pump pedastal mount OK to do? Is there anything I need to be awear of?
2. My engine has a 90 degree fitting with a plug in it just to the right of and forward of the govenor mounting face on the accessory case. What is this fitting for? Can I remove the fitting and just plug the hole if it is not needed?
3. I can not find info on the proper hardware to use to mount the carb to the bottom of the oil pan. What nuts/lockwashers/locking tabs should be used? Were can I find info on carb mounting?
Thanks
