Apr 11, 2022 5.6 Engine wiring; Smoke system plumbing Category: Firewall Forward
Firewall-forward wiring:
1. Crimped a 1/4" ring terminal to the end of the ground wire for the "Starter-On" light's spike diode. Attached it to a nearby engine case bolt.
2. Added heat shrink to the leads on the Manifold Pressure sensor. Prepped the wires for splicing.
3. Removed the lacing cords from the main bundle of wires that passes vertically by the battery box. Added the manifold pressure sensor line. Re-laced the wires. Enclosed them in a slit section of firesleeve. Sealed the firesleeve with Tefzel tie-wraps. Attached the firesleeve to the firewall with blue, high-temp Adel clamps.
4. Ran the "Starter-On" power line from the starter through a small firesleeve. Added stainless steel cinch clamps to each end. Routed this wire down behind the engine and secured it in several places with Adel clamps.
5. Re-routed several controls and wire runs to improve their placement.
6. Added Tefzel tie-wraps in several places to seal or secure other wiring firesleeves.

Smoke system:
7. Measured and cut the smoke oil hose to length. Installed a 1/4" barb to AN-4 fitting to the end of the hose. Attached it to the splitter "t" on the firewall.
8. Secured the smoke oil line near where it exits the firewall with a pair of Adel clamps.
