Hey Dennis.
Sorry for not getting back to you. I work at science museum on Tuesdays
(today) and waited to get model number from strobe I use there. It has
adjustment from 0 to 8k flashes per minute. Highly flexible. But we
obviously bought it from some low volume supplier...."Way Cool Products". I
couldn't find it on the web.
Here is link to good price.

Not sure of flashes per second, I was looking for 40 to 50 but nothing out
there. Should work fine though if it's 20 fps, as we want to use it at 1/4
or 1/2 the engine rpm. That allows you to see the movement. If you operate
strobe at engine rpm, then you don't see anything.

This is important safety concept that's normally invisible to us. Glad you
are pursuing.

To answer some questions on the fuel plumbing at the fuel regulator -

The fuel system feeds from the left tank using 3/8 al. tubing into parallel
high pressure fuel pumps each with it's own outlet side GM filter.  The
pumps and filters are mounted on the floor between the rudder pedals (RV
-7A).  Output from the pumps and filters goes to the firewall using 3/8 al.
tubing.  From there 3/8 SS. Airquip hose feeds the primary fuel rail.  Out
of the fuel rail a 3/8 al. pipe connects the lower primary fuel rail to the
upper secondary injector fuel rail.  (Based on comments I will install an
Adle clamp on this tube.)  A 3/8 SS. Airquip hose connects from the
secondary injector fuel rail to the inlet of the pressure regulator.  The
regulator return line exits the bottom of the regulator and returns fuel
via. 1/4 al. tubing to the left tank by being tee'd into the fuel line from
the right tank.   The right tank fuel is pumped to the left tank - copied
from Tracy.   The regulator is also plumbed with a small-orifice bypass al.
tube tee'd into the fuel return line.  This line exits left side of the
regulator.  This bypass orifice was installed to quickly get rid on any air
or vapor lock in the system.

I will check into replacing the 1/4 al. tubes at the regulator and from it
to the firewall with SS Airquip hose.  If this can't be done on some of the
short hose I'll add dampening or additional support. I believe I have enough
hose and fittings left over to accomplish this!!

Did Al Wick or someone else have an inexpensive source for a variable
frequency strobe?  I may be able to borrow one but don't know if it is still
available.

I want to THANK EVERYONE for the review and all the comments.   I hope to
assemble the A/C and have it in the air within 90 days.

I see your rubber engine mount in the second photo.  I appear to be getting
some engine vibration through my rubber mounts which are much thinner than
yours.  What mount are you using?

Answer:  Fred at Conversion Concepts built the motor mount and supplied the
rubber motor mounts.  They appear to isolate the engine vibration real well.
It appears we need a new source for motor mounts!!
