Larry, been around along time and learned the info as i went, along with others and as you are doing, so non of this is new to me, it is a knownfact of the numbering system , and fellow injection guys share the same view. Richard stuck, who ,im, not sure if on here has the Battle bird clone and has a set for sale and a set modified to EFI . see him on f/book.

Hi Bill ,
What you say sounds like it makes sense. How did you get your info ? I'm waiting to hear back from Hilborn to see what they say. The guy that has one for sale on eBay said his is #218 and it was the 118th unit produced out of a total of 144 made, doesn't sound right to me . If what your saying is right mine would be the 41 and 76 unit made. Or from 1957 to 1960 they only sold 35 units for the Y-Block. Thanks for your input , how about some photos of your injection.
Larry Short

They started at100 , so unit 118 is # 18, i have 115, richard stuck has several others. i paid over 2500 over 10 yrs ago. but i,m sure i will be corrected.

I received the above sheets from Hilborn this morning. They haven't gotten back to me about how many units were produced or how they numbered them. As soon as they do I will pass it on. I looked at the paper work on the one on eBay and it looks like Hilborn went to a form sheet to keep tract of injection units in later years.  kinda neat to know how it was built and where it went !

I'm not sure how many units were made. I doubt Hilborn started with the number 1 on the first unit . I sent them an e-mail requesting info about the units but they are at the Indy trade show this weekend. Said they would get back to me Monday. I'll ask them how they number units and how many were made. When Mike checked for the numbers for me he said same number was on each side, only were marked L and R .

Larry, How do you end up with unit #176 if only 144 were made? there has to be more to this story, what number did they start with?

And she sells them for what her husband told her he paid.

He who dies with the most toys is dead, and his wife lives a great life with the money she gets from selling all his toys !!!
By the way the toys she sells for all that money are the same toys she told him not to buy in the first place.
