Today was a milestone for our '48 170. Since buying the airplane two years ago, I have been fighting with the fuel selector. Stuck in both, fixed. Leaking, replaced
the valve. Suck in the "Both" position again. Enough! Gave up and turned "V" over to Chris Gardner and his staff at Sierra Hotel Aero at Fleming Field in South St. Paul, MN for one of their approved fuel selectors. Should have done that in the first place. Their selector is the answer. They can be reached at navion.com.
Next on the list was the 8 day clock. Never did work. Came across a gentleman in California who specializes in airplane clocks. One week turnaround and today I was able to re-install the clock. Like flying a new airplane!!
