P-mag connector all wired up and ready to install.
P-mag connector and manifold pressure connection installed.
For access-related reasons, I wanted to get this out of the way before installing the backup alternator on the empty vacuum pad at the top of this image.
Yep, wiring spaghetti. That’s what my life looks like these days, only some of it is under the panel and damn near inaccessible. Super fun.

Right-side EGT, CHT, and ignition wires routed and connected. Some final cleanup still necessary, obviously.
ANL fuse-to-shunt wire in process.
ANL fuse-to-shunt wires ready to install.
ANL fuse blocks and shunt in place with wiring underway.
ANL fuse blocks and shunt wire boots installed.
The open fuse block terminal is for the backup alternator’s B-lead. The open shunt terminal is for the main bus wire.
Oil door fitting underway. It was actually not bad right out of the box – even the curve was a good match for the cowling.
Taped in place for drilling.
Camloc receptacles installed.
The upper edge will have to be trimmed/sanded/massaged a bit to accommodate the gooseneck’s horizontal flange. As it is right now, the edge of that piece butts against the edge of the cutout and won’t permit the door to sit down properly in its recess.
So, a bit more fiddling to do tomorrow.
Swapped the upper Adel clamp (mounted on the firewall in the center of the photo) for a slightly larger one to accommodate the firesleeved oil pressure hose.
Cover removed from vacuum pump pad to make room for the B&C backup alternator. Holding it in place today made it clear to see that the lower left nut and washers will be nigh on impossible to get started, nevermind torqued. More fun stuff…
Left side EGT probes installed. Wiring to come once the panel and its many boxes have been mounted.
