Tonight I installed the oil pressure sensor line, and started on another modification to move the manifold pressure sensor. This modification is courtesy of Steve at Aircraft Specialties and makes use of the unused port on the Vans bracket. It’s a more elegant solution for providing manifold pressure to the two E-mags, in my opinion.
The oil pressure line was straight forward, just connecting two fittings with a hose, and torquing the b-nuts.
The manifold pressure line was slightly more involved. First uninstalled the pressure sensor from its original location on the right side of the firewall, and reinstalled it on the left side, using the spare port. I hunted around and found a spare plug, and then installed that along with the Aircraft Specialties supplied fluid fitting. I made up the rest of the fittings, routed the lines across the engine compartment and installed the line at both ends. Now I just have to locate and install the cushion clamps to secure it in place.
