International Power Unit

I have an International power unit that strongly resembles a farmall cub. It has a Y69 Continental engine with a fairbanks morse mag and the radiator end motor mount is of a U- shape. Can anyone tell me what model of IH power plant I have ? Also I have had the mag off and re-installed it but the timing is off as all it will do is bark. What is the timing for this engine? Thank You!!
 
With #1 piston on TDC, rotor pointing to #1 on cap, install mag and rotate toward block, then pull out until impulse trips. If already installed and the thing used to run, timing is probably ok, check the points, coil etc, as you said it would fire. Far as I know IH never made a power unit with a Continental engine. I can be corrected. Flathead Cub engine was IH. It could have been changed. Timing info assumes it is similar to IH engine, but I have never seen the Continental.
 
we have an old IH pulltype combine that's parked for junk with a 4 cylinder flathead continental engine on it. the engine has an IH magneto on it.
check for a cast firing order somewhere on the engine. many 4 cylinders in the past had 1243 firing orders! you should be able to fudge the timing close just by finding tdc and timing the impulse to trip at or just after.

I had a 50-T baler with a 4 cyl. Continental. Ran good, but if you killed it you couldn't get it started till it cooled. I would hook it to the belt pully on the tractor and would start right up.
 
The Y69 Continental engine was an option on several IHC hay balers and combines, but, it was never sold as a seperate IHC power unit.
