I received another order from Aircraft Spruce today with this AN816-4D fitting that is used to tie the manifold pressure line into the #3 cylinder. The end is taped off with electrical tape to keep moisture out of the cylinder until the manifold pressure line is installed.
The order also contained some all-metal lock nuts, so I used a few to install some adel clamps on the starter cable wire. In this picture you can see an adel clamp holding the wire to the oil pan just above and behind the mixture bellcrank. After that, the line drops down…
…and run through these adel clamps on its way to the starter solenoid. After everything was tightened down, I removed the terminal from the starter so that I wouldn’t inadvertently turn over the engine during future wiring. It will probably not be reinstalled until just before first engine start.
Finally, I clamped the engine ground wire where it passes by the upper engine mount tube. This was a fairly long wire (read heavy under high g loads), so I didn’t want it to be entirely supported by the terminals on the end.
