Splais, Mount your gas tank over the CG. This is a gas engine with a pumper carb and you dont need to mount your gas tank right behind the motor. Make a small ply plate that mounts to the top inside of the fuse over the CG. Hang your gas tank from this with some velcro straps. I do this on all my warbirds. Having the tank over the CG will keep you from having trim changes when the fuel is consumed also. I did this on my WM miss america mustang and it worked well. This will clear up your throttle mounting issues and will give tons of room to mount your ignition battery and ignition module.
