Ignition harness
Catégorie: Engine : Firewall forward
|
As I have all the parts, I decide to fabricate the Pmag ignition harness. On the ignition side, the cable has first to be inserted in the angles rubber boot. Then the cable has to be carefully stripped and the pin crimped. The crimper was included with all the parts. Then the pin is bent at 90° and the boot is pushed over the pin. For the plug side it's easier. First strip the cable 1/4". Then install the small spring, the nut, the silicon gland and the washer. And a check for continuity as the cable core is easy to break. The resistance is shoube around 180 Ohms per foot, as the cable is 2'5" it looks good. I the install various elements on the engine, more to have an idea how to organize everything and check I have all the needed hardware. This is the oil pressure hose going from the engine to the manifold to be installed on the firewall. I the install seals for the upper plugs ignition wires, the holes seem a bit too small, I'll have to enlarge them slightly. I the bolt the oil cooler to the firewall, only to notice that the fittings' orientation interferes with the engine mount. Working time on this subpart Today : 3h (Total : 115h) |
