That is the type of answers to puzzles that currently face me.
I do not have the additional data plate under the original therefore my
plane is illegal, I need to get that plate on there.
I am glad you refereed to the plastic air lines and the fact that those
lines were part of the conversion and not some field replacement as is the
case with other parts I have found on this bird.
If you can believe it we found a blanked off hose on the intake manifold
that was not being used anymore (pressurization?).
The problem with my install is a clamp around the hose is holding the plug
made out of a piece of plastic on the inside of the hose just waiting to be
sucked in to the intake.
I am sure the only way I am going to get my local engineers up to speed on
this aircraft engine settings is to import someone to train them.

Since I have not seen it personally I am just guessing. But the line you are
describing may be the pressurization line for the magnetos. Yes, the
magnetos were pressurized on some installations. This was done to prevent arcing
in
the distributor block since the contacts were closer together than on a 6
cylinder mag. The pressurization for the cabin was a large line that went
through the fire wall and had a electric shut off valve..
Is your aircraft a F,FP, FLP or a FL?. Was this an conversion that was done
using parts from another aircraft? Also, do you have a copy of the original
STC in your aircraft records?
