Doug,
If you have an 0-360 A1F6D (dual mag lycoming) you can run one mag in
the dual mag hole.It can be done very easily.....although it will be a
bit pricey. You will need to buy one single mag and the appropriate
gears. Contact Aero-Sport power and they have all the info for what
you need. They will also take your dual mag housing as a core and give
you a pretty good price for it. It makes a very clean installation.
