The RC version I don't think came with a spinner and had a standard style "finned" head that took a standard glow plug.

I believe the crankshaft timing was different between them as well.

That explains a lot, my box is for the RC version and the head is the standard
finned head with glow plug. The prop washer and nut obviously came with
engine. The person who sold it to me was into competition FF. My guess is
he bought the RC version and venturi and needle to convert to FF.
Thanks for the info. John

Okey, here is my half-conversion, and some of the parts. I've kept the original head but should do a comparison I guess with the regular glow plug too.
Most if not all parts seems available (I've horded a few glow heads and plugs etc), Bernie has cylinder and piston sets too.

All parts are interchangeable but I haven't measured the timing of the two cranks. I would really like to get my hands on the ABC version though...
