I am going to replace the right Slick magneto on the O-320 in my 9A with a Pmag.
I plan to replace the right magneto which only has 120 tach hours on it since new, but is 14 years old and has therefore already exceeded Slick's recently introduced 12 calendar year overhaul requirement.
I chose to replace the right magneto because I wanted to retain the starting capability of the left magneto which has an impulse coupling, in case the Pmag should fail in flight.
I have bought a Klixon 3 amp circuit breaker/switch to put in the power supply line to the Pmag, to function as both the circuit breaker and test switch.
I plan to wire a DB9 female plug in the cockpit to enable use of the EICAD program to customize the B curve to set the Max RPM to 2816 since my fixed pitch prop is limited to 2600, the Advance Shift to -1.4 degrees and the Max Advance to 33.6
I am about to order the Pmag, HT leads, plug adapters and plugs, and would be grateful for any constructive criticism of my plan so far.
