Dear Ed:

You don't need connector pin-outs for that old thing  - - you need to know
it's CG to tell you where to tie the rope to use it as a boat anchor. Not
very high tech boat anchor, either. Putting an old ARC anything in something
as nice as a Lancair IV (or any airplane, for that matter) would be like
dropping a Model-T Ford engine in a Ferrari and expecting an E-ticket ride!

Do yourself a favor and sell it to somebody restoring a 25 year old C-170
and you won't be the sorry one. The old ARC avionics are not blessed with
stellar reliability and have a nasty habit of going belly-up (at this time
of their life, especially) just when you need to rely on them.
