The International Cessna 170 Association

Thankyou! Although float parts are hard to come by, this helps and opens a few doors. I haven't found a 170 that I want to buy with the things I would like to have on it so looking at other options to make one.

Hi!
Might any of you know if the seaplane kit parts from a 170-A are the same as the parts for a 170-B?
Sincerely,

Hi you smart ones out there! I was thinking of maybe trying to replace my rear bench seat with two single seats out of a newer Cessna 185/180. On the 185 these seats mount to the side of the fuselage only. Easy in and out. I’m aware of Atlee’s folding seats, but they can get pretty spendy. Thanks fo...

Hi everyone! My IA got the mags on while I was gone to Alaska and I was able to try them out today. They worked perfect! Got it really warmed up and flew it in this very warm WX in the Chicago area. Landed and let it sit in the hot sun much like the days it would not start, but it started right up l...

Thanks to all of you and for all your ideas to help. Aircraft Spruce confirmed that the slick 6364 mag is the direct replacement for my old 6264 mags. They will take my old mags for cores so final price will be $717 each for rebuilt new ones. I Can not get My old ones overhauled for that. I placed o...

Thanks Bruce for a our you response! I talked with a mag rebuild shop yesterday and they said the 6200 series mags need a inspection and Bearing change at 1000 hours. Also they said a command problem with slick mags is worn contacts resulting in hard starting due to weak spark. I will pull the mags ...

I have given all the different fuel stuff many tries without any luck. As I have a hard time thinking hot mags can cause this, BUT it does act as if there is no spark. It just wil not fire at all with any fuel throttle combination. So does anyone know if there is a left and right differance in a Sli...

Yes. I believe it was 2010. Thanks for your thoughts!

I have been having a tuff time starting engine when hot. Always started easy before so this is a new problem. Still warts right up when cold. Plugs and wires are good. Someone said mags might be the problem. I have the slick 6264 mags from 1990 with 900 hours on them. Engine runs perfect when runnin...

Thanks for giving me some ideas. I know Matt. Forgot about the tank gauges being a issue.

Anyone out there every put Cessna 175 long range fuel tanks into there Cessna 170B giving you the benefit of having long range tanks? Might there be a STC available? Thanks for your help!
