Sorry to hear that Charlie. Last year, my alternator failed and it only cost $75 to have it rebuilt within about 45 minutes. The two magnets had broken apart inside. Next time I have the engine off I’

I welcome a fly over anytime (even if it is to drop toilet paper).

I actually have access to a 182 and a Cherokee Six I could fly up. But sounds like Saturday might be getting filled up with finishing up the ignition with my avionics guy and then some family stuff. B

Made good headway on the electronic ignition last night but don't think I will have time to fully test for a "cross country" flight in time. Bummer. Corbin

Mike and Jay - THANK YOU for this information. I look forward to reading through it and understanding more of how to proceed. Much appreciated.

Look great, Jim! As you know, I bit the bullet and did the same thing. It’s worth every penny, IMO. Corbin

Hey Bruce. You are 100% correct...I would learn a ton. Who knows, maybe I will fly up in the Cherokee Six. Corbin

Thanks for the encouragement, Phil and Bruce! Corbin

For what it's worth, Klaus recommends the top of the engine like you have them Jim (and me now) and then firewall second.

According to Klaus, the 4cyl don't require cooling but I do have scat tubing pointed at them; just didn't have a hose clamp to mount it today. If the plate shows signs of wear then I will beef it up.

@Mike - Thanks for reminding me of that. I thought it was interesting in the install manual that the 4 cyl coils don't need any extra cooling. I thought I had heard it was a good idea to cool them so

Thanks, Jim...I tugged on them today and was thinking I should secure them more than how they arrived. I will do that tomorrow.

For those interested, here is where I have decided to mount the ignition coils. Both are below the highest point (the fuel spider). The two that are mounted to the aluminum plate (nearest the magnet p

I was hoping to make it this year but I am still playing around with the Lightspeed ignition install. Trying to decide where and how to mount the two coils today. Pic below for the fun of it. Let's ju

One main pump goes to main battery and the backup pump goes to the aux battery. Corbin

I have a main and an aux battery. Yep, you could run each CDI to a different battery. Keep in mind, if I lose battery power, my fuel pumps (and engine) stop regardless. Corbin

Let’s hope so. I was able to get both sensors and the plate mounted yesterday morning. Pic below of the top one. Corbin

Dual ignition. No mags! 😀 Corbin

Thanks Jay. Jim’s been a great help over the phone the last couple of days. Me, Jim, and Kevin all have different versions of the Light Speed setup. Corbin

It looks like you could to me as well. The only thing that makes me second guess that is the install manual makes a point to notate the sensor wire needs to “point” clockwise (right/to the pilot side)
