putting auto plugs on slick harness

6 Gun · #1 12-29-2015, 07:19 PM

Trying to figure out the best way to run autoplugs on a slick mag using harness has any one got a way to crimp autoplug ends and use auto boots on the slick wires? If not able to figure it out I will look at 8.5mm auto wires.
Thanks Bob

Pretty sure Thomas at G3I Ignition can do this for you. You send him your harnesses and caps and he will replace the leads for you with the auto plug ends. http://g3ignition.com/magmod.html

Thanks Dave for reply I knew about g3i and that's an option ,but I'm looking for a homebuilt way first and wanted to check with everyone to see if its been done before and if info is already there.
Thanks Bob

Bob,

What David is saying to you is, Thomas at G3i does exactly that.

Even if you don't use the MSD amplifier, the technique of installing the spark plug boots for auto plugs onto aircraft wires is the same.

BTW, the G3i system is GREAT!

I love mine.

OK CJ I get what your saying,but what I'm saying is I fly a RV exp. airplane because I like to make things and experiment just like when I buit my on fi boost pump I ask that question 2 years ago and after no response from a member I ordered parts from Summit Racing and after trying a.couple different pumps got it right and I would be glad to share info.Now I thought it would save some time if someone who has done it before would share info.
Thanks to All
Bob

Gotcha...

Thomas will share his notes for $30.

You want someone here to give you the briefing.

I am using fine wire plugs. Otherwise, I would share.

I too am an experimenter and fully understand.

I am sure someone here can help out.

Just to be clear I'm wanting to put plugs on slick wires.
That why I did not buy g3 I plans!

Ah!

I see now what you want!

Right, that is quite different.

I was set on the result, not the method.

Maybe all my confusion will bring this thread to someone's attention that can help you with your quest.

you should be able to find the plug ends and crimper on-line. Custom wire sets are sold with the ends un-attached. The connector and boot come with the set, but I am sure you can buy them somewhere. Pretty simple to do. If your lines are shielded, you'll need to strip it back and be sure it doesn't contact the connector.

Be sure that you get non-resistor plugs to use with the mag.

Question about the recommendations against resistor auto plugs.

Aren't the stock a/c plugs resistor plugs? I can't ever remember checking the actual resistance of an resistor automotive plug in a car (it's been at least a decade since I had to change one), but I do know that a/c plugs are expected to have at least 1k-1.5k of resistance when new.

So what's the straight scoop?
