Default Mag for 1HP Titan or Famous

I would like to call on the wisdom of this forum for information as to what the correct mag would be for a 1HP Titan or Famous engine. Also what would the correct gear be for that mag. Diameter and number of teeth would be most helpful. Thanks in advance! Larry.

The magneto is an Accurate-Type R. The gear is the same size and number of teeth as the crankshaft gear.

Thanks Leroy, I appreciate the help. I have a 1HP Famous that I want to try resurrecting from the dead. It needs a lot of help. Larry.

With a back geared mag set up, it's an "R" mag. But then again with the right bracket (G 8820) , it could use a Wizzard mag driven off the flywheel for 1911.

I have a 1hp famous and it has a primer cup added to the top of the head and it has what I think is a lunk carb on it instead of ones like I've seen for the 1hp famous online. It was also converted to spark plug and I have no clue what they did to make that work since there is a box on the side of the base that has prongs out of it.
