For you crank snappers out there. just wondering if some of you are running
the distributor with the electronic pickup on one side W/W sells now. I have
been having a big problem getting my 2 sets of points balanced to fire at
the same degree advance on mine. I sent it back to him and have one of the
new style distributors coming next week. but i am still running this Grand
Rapids EIS in the panel that DJ installed. initially it was giving fairly
decent readings on the one coil it is connected to but the last time or two
I flew it after messing with the gaps to get the timing closer it was way
off. I plan on connecting the electronic pickup to the EIS and maybe an
electronic tach after getting it in. leaving the other point side clean with
nothing else on it but the coil,condenser and ballast resistor.I'm just
wondering if anybody else had any problems installing this style ignition
pickup and any solutions if you did. Raymond

I may. got an email from him this morning. sent a couple poor pictures I had. I
still don't have a good picture of it I am sure hoping this ridiculously hot
windy weather will ease up this summer so I can fly once I got the distributor
issue settled.it's supposed to be 105 again today. winds only about 20 now- 45
degrees to the runway but they are supposed to blow a lot more later on.guess
it's just as well I am not ready to fly anyway-I'd just be frustrated and wondering
whether to risk it or not.

Ramond, We are running the electronic/points distributer.- Ours is a wynn
e distributer, and the 2 diferent ignition systems are not timed dead on wi
th each other.- It is not much of a concern to me, the points are strictl
y for backup only.- It will run to full power on either system, the idle
speed is some what off between the 2 systems due to the timing being a-co
uple of -degrees different.-

i just added a set of points to a mallory model a distributor and noticed the slight
difference in timing and had the thought of one just being a backup so
it would be ok i'm sure..
dual points distributors are made that way on purpose.. to get more dwell when
running both sets to one coil
i planned on the more advanced set being the backup... making starting easier..
i set the gap slightly less on the backup points... to get the timing closer..
still in tolorance but not in the middle of the range

Well per W/W's instructions I messed with mine by shifting the mount plate to the
side some as it is loose enough on the screws it can be shifted some plus played
with the gap.not having his distributor machine or patience I even devised
a shadetree method of my own. I glued a couple small pieces of thin paper to
a rubber band and put them in the points and held slight tension on it and rotated
the shaft till they would release.got it to where they were close to the
same- but still one set the timing mark would hunt fairly bad. I wondered if
i had a bad cam lobe -could'nt find any real slop in the shaft. anyway I hope
for better luck now. I am not satisfied with either the Datcon tach or the EIS.
both were giving bad readings. again maybe bouncing points ? I contacted Mark
Langford and he sent me a link to his site telling how he put a 27K ohm resistor
in the circuit and it solved his problem.I do not have the manual for the
EIS- have to guess that he meant in the coil- pickup wire and try it I guess.
if I could find a decent electronic tach that worked properly I would soon remove
the EIS. not because the info isn't valuable. but I have a mechanical oil
gage and have satisfied my temps are good and not running any mixture control-
that is wired full rich on the old Strombergh I don't think it's likely to
go lean unless something breaks.and it just ain't natural in a Piet or wanna be
Piet panel.th temp hit 111 here as I was coming back from town a little while
ago. will likely be too hot to fly anyway today. may take a nap. Raymond

I have a question for the forum. Anyone who wants to please chime in.
I have 14 clevises (is that the correct plural?) to use at various
places in the control system. Problem: some of the clevises will have
a turnbuckle fork attach to it. The Clevis is 0.185 inch thick and the
turnbuckle fork slot is only 0.156 inch. Would it be OK with the
inspector if I ground down the clevis until the fork would go over it?
According to my handy dandy calculator I would have to grind off about
0.03 inch for the fork to go on the clevis. Comments? Chuck

Yeah! Considering what you have to do to convert the engine for
aircraft use, the fact that it came out of a running auto means very
little. $200 tops, I would say.

Hey all,
I would like to pass on this update on this months work I've done to my project.
So far it is going well and I am meeting my personal goals.
It was such an advantage building a mock-up of the piet before jumping into the
spruce. If anyone hasn't planned to do so, I highly recommend doing it.

Chuck,
You shouldn't have to do any grinding of terminals to make them fit. It
sounds like you may be mismatching hardware.
Here are a couple of pdf's of cable terminal fittings that may help you
sort out what you need.
