Jim, the history of the o-200 it was designed for the Cessna C-150, a high wing plane and did not require a fuel pump. The crankcase was machined on the forward lower case to mount a vacuum pump so a reliable vacuum source would be available to drive an IFR panel.(no venturis needed) The camshaft had a gear on the end to drive the vacuum pump.The O-200 crankcase does not have a pad machined on the fromt left side to accept a fuel pump. The STC for the O-200 in a coupe reqires the use of an electric fuel pump. It is possible to have the crankcase modified to accept a mechanical pump (cost $700-.800) but the special camshaft required is no longer available. A further note:: The Ford 60 ampere alternator was also used on the )*200 in the Cessna and provided exellent service. Regards, Tom --- On Sun, 3/7/10, James B. Brennan <[email protected]> wrote:
