Hello All,

I just recently purchased an airplane with a 13B.  It is about 95%
complete, but I'm going through it thoroughly to ensure everything,
including the engine, is up to spec (so really, it's about 85% done).  I
have a few questions on it.  

The plane is setup with a carburetor and distributor.   I'd like to
change it over to EFI, but my wife is putting a limit on how much I can
spend (I'm sure a lot of you know what that's like)--so this will be a
future thing.  I not too happy about using a distributor and I'd like to
at least upgrade this to a distributorless system.  The unfortunate
thing is Tracy Crook doesn't sell the control module for this anymore.
I'd like to ask the group if they have any that they are willing to
sell?  If so, please e-mail me directly at hantelbu@alpac.ca.

Secondly, the plane uses a Ross reduction drive, and it came with a
metal prop.  I've read that it is not recommended using a prop with this
engine, but I'm wondering if other people have used a metal prop with
this configuration.

Cheers,

Burck
