Hi Mike,

  

   No, it's Electromotive.com.  The pickup I refered to is actually wedge shapped on the trigger wheel end, as opposed to the original pickup which had a flat end. It fits into the same NSI collar.

Floyd,

  

 What is the part number for that  pickup?

  

 Does Jay have a website?  What are the dimensions of  the radiator he has?

  

 Mike

Mike,

  

    I did some measuring and investigation and came up with some answers. 

 The new radiator is 2 1/2 inches deep, as opposed to the 2 inches of the NSI design. In addition, this is a state of the art internal core, which provides much improved cooling. All other dimensions are equal, including where the inlet and outlet are 

 located. An important note: the hose from the outlet at the top of the radiator has to go to the pump, to work properly. You will need to make two simple brackets to mount it. Seeing as the radiator is deeper, the mounting holes are further back.

 If you go with a new radiator, I can send you some photos of my mounting.

   Now, the ignition pickup.  Part number 250-72212 chisel point, 3/8 inch diameter. It will fit right in the NSI mount. It must be on the right side as you face the engine. The gap is .020>>.050.  Mine is set  .030   and performs OK. It is a chore to set the gap.

 I drilled a 1/4 inch hole in the mount so I could slide a piece of shim stock in place to set the gap.

   Jay does not have a website, but I'm going to copy him in on this. Give him a call if you have any questions because he is the expert, I'm only the grunt with the airplane.  Regards,   Floyd

Hi NSI Subaru drivers:

I made a fixture that I use to set the mag pickups to assure a .040" gap. If

you send your NSI "horse shoe" pickup holder and new sensors, I would be

happy to set the sensor for you. I can also furnish the sensor.
