Hi Tommy,
I see it, and understand how the hot tube works, but only from reading  about 
them.
 
Now, since this engine has both an ignitor, and a hot tube, does that mean  
it was built during a transition period where the hot tube was being replaced 
by  the low tension ignitor?
 
 
Thanks.

Ron,

If you look on photo 3 you see the triangle  shaped  casting on the 
top of the cylinder just below the head.   The "crooked" piece sticking 
out of the middle of it is the hot  tube.  It would have had a chimney 
attached where the bolts are  screwed into the cylinder.  I don't know 
when they discontinued the  hot tube set up but I know the late models 
don't have it.
