Default Mods

Actually, it would be great if one of the mods with time on their hands would go through all the red cube posts and delete all the old ones with the old information in them.

I read through a LOT of posts because I was worried I'd mount mine wrong only to find in the end that it wasn't very critical.

Put it on the firewall between the electric and mechanical pumps because it was very convenient there. Solid as a rock as well.

Default Red Cube

I know this is an old thread, but wanted some thoughts. I was planning on mounting mine inside, just downflow from the pump. Any thoughts?

Default after mechanical fuel pump

For FI, the best place is between the throttle body and the spider, and 2nd best is between mechanical fuel pump and the throttle body. Anywhere else, and you are providing a higher chance of vapor lock due to the slight restriction of the red cube. Some also report inconsistent fuel flow readings if the red cube is between the boost pump and the mechanical fuel pump, but that would not concern me as much as possible vapor lock.

I put it between the throttle body and the mechanical fuel pump, the 2nd best place, mainly because I was too lazy to re-do the beautiful connection that Mattituck did between the throttle body and the spider.

YMMV, of course!

Carl---The 14 plans show the transducer between the mechanical pump and the servo. There are 2 different set ups, depending on whether its a 'A' model or a tail dragger.

I have mine in that precise location, with no issues whatsoever.
