REFLECTOR: Engine question

[Jim Agnew]

Matt, 
 
No matter  top or bottom however I suggest that you place a disk of the stainless steel and ceramicheat shield that Velocity sells between the mount and the spider to prevent heat transfer from the mount.

>>Is this an IO-360 or IO-540?  My IO-360 didn't come with intercylinder baffles, so I just finished making a pair that, I think, are better than the originals.  If you want pics, I can send them to you - real easy to make.  I suspect that it would be best to have the fuel divider at the coolest location (i.e. where the air enters at the top), but I'm sure others who know better will comment on this.  My fuel divider has a mounting bracket that attaches it to the case along the top.
