Munro} 26.9.32. 6-Cylinder Kestrel Unit. ----------------------------- This is to confirm asking you to fit this engine up with one half of a carburetter unit, feeding the whole bank of cylinders. This will need some kind of a sheet-metal induction manifold making up. The carburetter should be jet-control type. Rg {Mr Rowledge} /Tsn. | ||
