Label the wires (both ends) and count the pins (many times). I did it twice this far (one time for the test stand and once for the airplane) and it works fine. Starting the engine is a non-event. No black smoke and not that loud. I was pleasantly surprised. I wonder if the neibourghs realize what is going on. I run the engine every day about 5 minutes to check out the systems. The 2 alternators work fine and the pressures are OK. No temp gauges installed yet but it is comming. The engine did not burp yet because the cooling system is still full. I have a vent (1/4" hose)from the top of the rad to the thermostat housing (no thermostat) and one vent from the top rear end of the engine to the thermostat housing -- seems to work fine. Rino
