[Spridgets] Interference

[Michael MacLean]

When I rebuilt my 1275 for the Bugeye I converted to belt drive for
timing.  Keeps the timing spot on.  It occurs to me that like other cars
the timing belt has a limited life and must be changed.  To be honest the
instructions did not say when this should occur as far as I can remember.
To be fair, the rebuilt engine has only a little over 3K miles on it, but
the question arises about valve interference if the belt breaks.  To my
knowledge, I don't think so, but I have been proven wrong before.  Anyone
know if a 1275 would be an interference engine if the belt broke?
