        Uhh, I thought the T1 & T2 <'71 engines were virtually identical,
the only difference being compression, tin, and the rear-mount threads for
the T2. And that therefore the gen. would also be identical. Is your engine
*really* a T2? Mine was originally sold in a '70 T1, I've always used the
standard gen., never even knew there was another.
