Subject: Pietenpol-List: speaking of Dan's ignition wire questions.........I have had a few of my ignition wire solder joints fail in the past 2 years (thankfully while removingplug wires in the hangar) and was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy these ends and thenthe other 'clip' ends that go on the Champion M41E plug ends.Fresno wants $100 for an ignition wire set........[cid:image001.png(at)01CD709D.59D9E140][cid:image002.png(at)01CD709D.59D9E140]________________________________________________________________________________

That=99s funny I drove corvair for yrs still have a spider never had a belt prbm But never tighten the belt so tite it would run over the pully just look at the chevy specks to see how much flex you should have..But I do agree the big fan is the way to go for horse power.

Hey Dan... you can get a universal wire set from autozone with lots of wire andboots ..both angle and straight... it a kind of build your own set.thats what i usedjeffRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: speaking of Dan's ignition wire questions.........

Silver solder is a broad term. There's the stuff sold in home improvement stores, which is VERY low in silver,melts at a low temp (can apply is with a solder gun or iron), sticks tenaciouslyto about everything and flows out really well, BUT, is usually used with aflux which is thin like water. It is also VERY corrosive and therefore seemsan unlikely choice for anything electronic. Although it can be neutralized,I would worry about it wicking up stranded wire underneath the insulation andlater causing problems (like in days or weeks, not forever). I've not cleanedmechanical joints (piano wire on model airplane parts, which regular solder doesn'tusually stick to well) soldered with this stuff well and see corrosionin very few days.The other silver solder is very high in silver content, generally difficult tofind (industrial suppliers and such, HVAC guys use it, used to braze carbide tooling,etc). Also referred to as silver brazing (brazing and soldering are thesame thing except for the temp it occurs). It's high enough in silver to frequentlybe sold by the troy ounce. Seems that the temp required (usually useoxy/acet) to use it would prohibit normal use in electronic uses. Usually usedwith paste fluxes. Not sure how corrosive that stuff is, but I don't seeproblems with things I braze with it like I do the other stuff."Normal" solder (due to propietary reasons, I hesitate to EVER use "normal" anymore,as they change the ingredients way more than they ever used to it seems)comes in either acid core, rosin (or resin, not sure which) core or with no coreat all. Acid core is the easiest to use, but corrosive and not used withelectronics. Rosin core is used with electronics. Just food for thought. Anyone know exactly what silver solder process is recommended?Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: ignition wire terminalsThe ignition wires for small Continentals are stranded wire and when you spreadthem out into a fan shape to solderthey hold for a very long time (14 years and almost 400 hours of flying) in mycase using regular old solder and flux. Good tips from all. Thank you. Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: ignition wire terminals
