Scott,
I notice that you have one coil and one injector CB. I have an almost identical set up, but am in the process of adding another CB so that I will have a separate power lead for each ignition module. I will do the same for the injectors a bit later. The reason is that with one CB for each of those critical systems if a short should happen, then it could take you down. A while back I went out and tried to start my engine, it would not start and the reason was lack of spark. The problem was eventually traced to a pin in a Molex connector that had apparently corroded(or been burn by arcing) to the point where it would no longer carry sufficient current to drive the ignition modules. Needless to say had it occurred in the air, I would have been in for another glide.
That's about all I can spot that I would probably do different.

I realize, not unlike the prop question from a few months back, that many things are specific to the airplane one is building. However, it would be helpful to verify I haven't missed some obvious engine circuit or engine switch prior to sending these panels off to frontpanelexpress...
My Zenith 801 is setup with:
- 13b
- EC2
- EM2
- 2 FI Fuel pumps
- A four tank fuel system( 4x15 gallons ), the L&R outboard fuel tanks pump into the respective L&R inboard fuel tanks via two facet 40171 fuel pumps. These are labeled the Xfer Pumps.
- A single battery & single alternator setup.
Please take a moment to see the attached pictures for the panels in question...
Thank You.
-Scott
