        The plate itself should swap, but you’d need to swap around the underside bits from the early plate to the later plate.

          thanks…there is going to be some difference in the plug lengths,but that can be remedied if they are not to short.Is the torque for the flywheel nut at 40 lbs.for the lightwin 3 hp.?
