It was pretty straightforward, just followed directions. Did some runups and all looks good.
I'll take the bird flying tomorrow and see how it does in the air. The only real wrinkle was finding an appropriate "T" fitting for the MP tap. We kludged together a solution but I'll be looking for a cleaner one.
1. You'll need something like this, which is not supplied: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072R ... UTF8&psc=1
2. If replacing the left mag, removing the crankcase vent hose makes it a lot easier. Bring the SIM up from below.
3. We used a LiFeSO4 motorcycle battery I had lying around and a couple of alligator-clip leads to set the timing both for the initial indexing on the bench and after installation. Connecting to the aircraft battery was last.
4. After bench-setting the timing, we marked the gear and the SIM housing with a Sharpee to make sure we didn't lose alignment while installing.
5. Also, if replacing the left mag make sure the SlickStart is completely disabled. In my case, this meant disconnecting and tying back the VIN terminal lead, the left mag SS/p-lead terminal wire at the SIM end, and the lead that went to the retard breaker, which is no longer there, naturally. If you currently still have a lead from SS terminal #2 that grounds the right mag, you should also comply with the SS bulletin that states that you remove that lead and add a jumper at the ignition switch.
