Yes I do have the Original IGN.They were C&H IGN but I am still using the Engine and ign, in planes,You can use any of the
later R/C Exel ign or there is a fellow in Florida that makes ign and works on old style C&H Ign,

Close enough, They were made in the 80's If you take the mount plate off it may have a hand engraved serial number on it and say walker or A&M. There were several hundred nearly complete bottom ends that changed hands and you cant tell the difference between late walkers and early A&Ms. Walker ran into issues getting parts from sachs when they found out he was building model airplane engines and sold out to A&M as I recall..
They look like they are most likely 2.4 ci or 3.2ci Cant remember but I think 3.2.s are labeled with 47 and the 4.2 are labeled 49.

Sorry Walla ,The A&M was before the Walker's as I recall,Mine I thought were bought in the
late 70's,Reason A&M went out was because they couldn't get crank assemblys and started making
AluminumRods which thru everything out of balance,Would about shake plane apart,I stiil have one
of the Crank and Rod assy,

Walker was buying chainsaw longblocks and using the cylinder and crank to make his motors. When he got cut off he simply quit making motors and A&M ended up with a lot of the left over parts. Sachs ended up cutting A&M off too and when they couldn't make a decent crankshaft/ rod they went bankrupt. Brison ended up with their remnants from the bank and fixed the shortcomings of the cantilever crank design A&M was working on and ended up being successful.
