Brief Description: Fuel and Manifold Pressure Sensors.

Put my soldering skills to the test today and attached 16AWG extension wires to the two pressure sensors. After the FT- 60 fuel flow sensor is installed, I will run and trim the wires to fit " Engine Plug #1 ". I temporarily connected the extended wires to the plug and everything indicates correctly. The QNH here today is 1005 mbs ( 29.68" ) and here at home we are about 2200 - 2300 feet AMSL. ( I should have set 1005 on the altimeter for the photos ). As we know, approx.1 inch hg change per 1000' therefore 29.68" minus 2.2 - 2.3", manifold pressure should indicate approx. 27.48 - 27.38", so 27.4" is correct.

Wiring extended

Ready for installation.

Gauges indicating correctly.
