Engine related wiring: 6 hours


  • Finished running electronic ignition wires forward of the firewall.
  • Installed AN fittings and sensors for oil, fuel and manifold pressure on the firewall sensor mount.
  • Wired the above sensors to the connector for the GEA 24 engine info system
  • I went ahead and ran the wires forward of the firewall for oil temperature, fuel flow and firewall forward temperature. The firewall forward temperature is an extra probe I'm installing near the batteries just to monitor temps. It would also give you early warning of any kind of unusual temps in the engine compartment such as exhaust leaks or fire.
  • I connected both of the electronic ignitions tach output to the GEA 24 connector. The system displays the higher of the two rpms so when you are checking the ignitions you don't loose the rpm readout.
  • I also spent some time organizing the various fiberglass tips for the empennage. I will be installing them soon.
