Garmin vote
Can't go wrong with the G5's - they have my vote. I have dual G5s (with magnetometer, GAD29B and GAD13) with a GTN750 and have had no issues. While maybe not as "fancy" as the AV-30-C, they are...

Nose Gear
Keith,

Tom,
Maybe this helps (I just changed my rear pick-up this weekend). The wires should come off the mag on starboard side of aircraft - it is the vent hole on the half of the mag closest to the...

Tom - also check to make sure the ground wire at the pick-up hasn't broken. Vibration at the engine could cause that wire to fatigue at the terminal end. It usually connects to a screw on the back...

JMH,
I just want to add a bit more of a response to your question #1.

Snap On
David,
bending and grinding is usually the answer - as well as multiple different wrenches; stubbies, offset, etc.

temps
JMH,
question #1: I noticed that you may have two different temperature scales for your cylinder temps. 190 Celsius is 374 Fahrenheit - which is a perfect temp for your cylinder heads. Continental...

Length of drain
MSHAC,
Your perception may well be correct, but my guess is that the amount left behind is going to be a very small amount. I have not measured the threads of the oil pan to be able to determine how...
