Default Gas Powered Air Compressors

Picked up two 15 CFM gas powered air compressors today. They're both HGR5-8M-1 compressors and have Teledyne WFI "military standard engines" on them. I messed with the first one for a while this afternoon and was able to get it fired up.

Does anyone happen to know where I might be able to find plugs and wires for these engines? They have the shielded wires and plugs.

Thanks for the info. I just did a search on their site and found what I need. It looks like these engines were used on quite a few things.

These have 4 cylinder engines. They look like the 4A032-4 listed on the Saturn site.

My old unit had one of those or what was left of one. The unit had been stripped of the compressor, engine was missing parts, and the air tank had been open to the environment.

That sounds like a heck of a compressor! It is rated for 15 cfm at what pressure?

The plates say 15 CFM @ 175 PSI.
