I am planning a dual Pmag install on a RV-6 o-360 carb'd set up. Replacing two Slicks.
Wondering if others have used one mag for top plugs and the other for bottom plugs, or set them like like Lycoming does with Slicks. Or if there is an advantage either way?
I understand the bottom plugs are more prone to fouling from worn cylinders or running rich(catching lead balls), so having a mixture of some bottom and some top could be benificial, but not sure that happens with electronic ignition's hotter spark.
Also when using LightSpeed with their coils mounted on top of the engine, it makes sense to run them to all top plugs, but the Pmags originate the wires from the same place as the Slicks so the option is on the table.
Thoughts?
