Then, pull a KNOWN vacuum with corresponding baro pressure for the second cal point. When I start the engine, my manifold pressure reads "9" at idle. What data appears in your cal menu for the second data point for manifold pressure? I believe a similar process is necessary for the Amp sensor.

The service always seemed prompt and accomodating. The provided a courtesy car and hunted down directions for where I needed to go, though M88's location is a little tricky to drive to/from....then again, its probably easier if a person follows directions. Don't know much about JWN and BNA is the usual big airport with prices to match. The FBOs at BNA are probably friendly---if you burn kerosene.

It's the BOMB! Less, way less, overspray, and using a lot less material-saves$$$$$. 1) any good single stage or 2 stage air compressor will work. Any brand. I would suggest that if you have space and $ invest in a good stand up compressor. Sears is ok but over priced. If you have a Tractor Supply Co. near look there. If not any good discount place, home depot, Lowe's will have 30-80 gallon size. CFM is the number that you are looking for on the compressor. Higher the better. My IR is 80 gallon single stage 18.1CFM 5HP - works like a mule. It will also keep up with ANY air tool that you have, die grinder, cut off tool, sanders, NOTHING can bog it down. 2) Invest in a good quality HVLP gun. It makes all the difference in the world. DeVilbiss is all that I use. AKZO epoxy primer, basecoat, clearcoat, will handle it all. Gravity fed(cup on top) or pot feed is the only way to go. Got mine on Ebay, new, half price what I could get it for locally. On Ebay search HVLP paint gun, Devilbiss, there are quite a few west coast reputable companies out there that have tons of stuff and great price. Like with anything - SHOP till you drop before laying out the $ . You'll get a better product for your bucks. 3). I picked up the digital level/laser also-mine was craftsman's club no brainer. check out there 3D laser level with stands for $40 when on sale. Very easy to stripe an a/c the entire length on both sides with two, or to do checkerboard on cowl/spinner/rudder. Hope that this all helped, PS - MUST have an inline water trap/filter with any compressor, big or small, compressed air makes water and will ruin your tools and paint. You are right-no inline oiler.
