My 170B came with a belt drive vacuum pump to run my big old AI and a newer style DG. I don’t really care for the mechanical pump vs a normal Venturi and only fly VFR. Classic look is actually preferred. After todays in-flight chucking of the pulley adapter I’m thinking about going back to the origi...

Thanks for the replies.

Nice turnout!

Nice panel!

We had a great time!

Nice plane!

Slide front seat to front, remove front rollers from track (will require compressing the foam with some force). Slide seat aft, remove the outboard roller. Then with a little bit of twisting, I can get th...
