20 years as an A&P and I can see myself getting bit here. This is a mess. Getting the correct parts and being able to verify you have the correct parts should a simple task, and sometimes it is not. I just finished assembling an O320 in April, an engine that was new in 1968, the new parts...

I read the SI... just wow. There should be actual pictures of the setscrews and warning about how to verify correct parts.

NOW imagine that WAS NOT AN AN565 part number but some dumbass Continental or Lycoming part number like LW-12345 or STD-12345, I haven't read the SB relating to this but who would catch this screw-up?

If the normal running load plus a downstream overload trips the 20 amp CB switch disconnecting all the equipment at the same time rather than tripping the faulty circuit I'd say nope. I'm no EE, but to me the avionics bus should be bussed through a CB switch near the rated capacity of the...

might need to contact EI

The dimmer input signal circuit is very sensitive to voltage changes...$0.02

One engine monitor wiring management idea. (For your new engine monitor)

Looks wrong to me. The washer under the nut should be tight on the wire, and the wire needs bent into a hook to prevent it from being pulled out of the bolt if it slips

https://ciescorp.net/ I put these floats in our 182L paired with an Aerospace Logic fuel gauge and never looked back.

What does your STC say? The Airplane Flight Manual Supplement typically says 1% or less.

Definitely enjoyed his presence here. You will be missed . I noticed he hasn't been around much.

I didn't even know those Ferrules existed! I need to try one of those kits.
