Lycoming 8 cylinder maneto information needed

I have an 8 cylinder lycoming magneto, but don’t have any manuals for the mag. Has anyone got any information about these magnetos that they could share with me? 🙂

It’s a Bendix magneto from one of the Lycoming 720 series engines; it should have a part number/serial number identity plate on it somewhere. What are your plans for it? There’s nothing much you can do without the tooling/test facilities and it can’t (legally) be fitted to an aircraft unless it has the appropriate release documentation (such as a Form One stating Time Since Overhaul, Airworthiness Directives complied with, etc) I’m afraid.
It probably came off something like a QueenAir, Pawnee Brave or Aero Commander.

Thanks for the info, really helpful.

Magneto

Harvey, what do you want? I could copy the relevant sections for you from the engine manuals.

Hi Tony, Any info would be good, if you have an exploded view of the mag that would be useful.
