You could just as easily use #3. The only difference is in the length of tubing to plumb to where ever you mount the sensor. The FF plans just show mounting MP sensor on the right side of the firewall, but there is nothing set in stone about where you put it. I've seen #1 used for MP on a 4 cyl Lyc for a type certificated aircraft. On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 5:03 AM, Jesse Saint wrote: > > You can use the portion any cylinder.
