Just a reminder that only Racing Wire is recommended for the "automotive" plug
conversion. Passenger car wire has a resistive core intended to suppress RF and
IMF emissions. This wire is designed for high voltage systems. racing wire uses
a tightly wrapped shield of stainless steel wire around a copper core to provide
suppression. This is the type of wire to use with our magneto systems.
It offers lower electrical resistance but is more expensive.
Either the Taylor wire that Dennis offers or Magnecore is good. Diameters over
6.5mm must have the outer sheath tapered to fit into the distributor cap.
Regarding the spark plugs, what we are using are types designed for motorcycles
and recreational equipment. I use the NGK brand because of the choices in heat
ranges, and cheap price. I use the 1/2" reach but has anyone experimented th
more expensive fine wire types that have a broad heat rage??

No tapering of the wires required anymore Craig as I now provide an
appropriate size drill bit in the kit to enable the installer to drill
out the magneto cap holes. This allows the 8 mm wires to fit neatly and
snugly into the holes and more importantly, prevents the end of the wire
from "rolling" or "moving" in the hole when the small piercing screw is
screwed down into the end of the 8 mm wire. This assures proper contact
with the center core.
I also provide NGK plugs in the kit now because they are easier for the
customer to acquire locally at an auto parts store than the Champion
plugs were.

Walt is there a gapping tool you can recommend?

Cecil,
According to the Yak 52 wiring diagrams, a ground is applied when you
press the PTT switch.

I'm planning to install an SL30 and keep the Russian radio in place
as #2. Want to use P.S. engineering PMA 4000 as a primary PTT type
intercom and to switch between radios.
The PMA 4000 only provides a single lead to each com thru which a
ground is applied to transmit.
Anyone know if the Russian PTT swith closes a circuit to the Russian
Com or if it just applies a ground the com?
any info on this application would be appreciated.
