Hello listers...

Has anyone converted a Lyc IO360-C1C6 (rear fuel controller) to a A1B6 front fuel controller by machining the sump boss to accept the mounting of the fuel controller to the front of the sump.

Since this is a tuned induction system I am concerned that by switching the inlet to the front of the sump it will detune the system.

Chris,
No it won't "de-tune" the system. The tuning is in the equal length of the intake runners of the system. Moving the servo from rear to front won't affect that. For great info on doing this, go to:

Charlie...

Great info! Thank you.

I am encouraged now that I have seen it done by others.

I used a C model sump on my 1st RV-6. I had the front boss milled and tapped
for studs to mount an Airflow Performance servo. That was on a parallel
valve O-360 so I had to adjust the intake tubes and provide spacers to get
them to fit. That shouldn't be needed on an angle valve engine. The down
side for my -6 was the sump sits farther aft than the A model sump and I had
to modify my engine mount to get clearance. I elected to go with an A sump
on my rebuild which also has tubes made for the parallel valve engine.

I have the C model sump available if you or anyone else is interested. It
has been modified to add the oil bosses (I've forgotten if it was 1 or 2)
for a Christen inverted system. The sump is magnesium as are the added
bosses. Rear has a cover plate and the front is setup for the AFP servo.
Contact me off list if interested.

Regards,
Greg Young
