[f-AA] Non-slick magnetos

[Plain Carl]

I almost always use Bendix.  Loaded with AD's and prone to trouble.  Up side is that I can always seem to fix them.  The old crowbar technology of the Case and Bendix is in some ways hard to beat.  May be just the Devil that you know, rather than the unknown.

I am currently running (and have for the last 24 years) Case magnetos 
w/iimpulse. I have a couple of spares (never needed) in "case" the Case's 
quit.

However.... I'm finally getting tired of the radio noise. I have been 
offered a set of SF4RN-8 w/o impluse, at a reasonable price, but they will 
need a new harness. I also have the chance of obtaining a set of Bendix 
S4RN-21 magneto with impulse couplings, but they look like they need to be 
completely gone through.

According to Aircraft Spruce... Both of these should work on an A-65-8.

Any suggestions? Other than new Slicks?
