Made more changes to engine.
- Replaced heavy, big Kelly alternator with Plane Power 60A. Brackets too.
- Attached RSA5 injection servo for test fitting attachments.
- Unclocked original Hartzel prop governor. Cut off one old mounting tube that couldn't be removed without disassembling governor. It used to be controlled from ''outboard side''. Now must be controlled from inboard side. Will have to create a cable bracket. New governor is looking better and SNF is only a few weeks away. Hmmmm.
- Cleaned up original sniffle valve. Its a 90 degree one from Lycoming. Sometimes I get to win.
- Had original quick drain that needs new o ring seal. Measured the 3 important measurements and found the exact one at ACS. Ordered 5.
- Removed fuel supply line to spider and fuel pressure line from spider. Cut lines and removed fire sheathing. I can find a use for the fire sheathing. It looks good. Fuel lines were 14 years old but looked in excellent shape. Hated to trash them but I did.
- Drilled oil temperature probe nut for safety wire and reinstalled with safety wire.
- Put a modified throttle cable bracket on the superior sump in a place that should work. I used Vans bracket and swung it to a better angle and put another AN4 hole in it to match up with the Superior spacing of .875 between the two bracket holes. Ordered two drilled head bolts for wiring that bracket when installed.
