| Check these out. Is there some sort of part number or MIL# and what is the output of it?

| If you donotplan to use it for awhile you may want to turn the engine over by hand to keep the rings on the pistons from sticking in the cylinder. I was toldto fill my cylinder with Marvel oil to prevent this from happening though I never did it.
Superior orKaiser will know more about this. | |
