Opulence, I has it...
Searched around, and don't see an exact answer to my questions, so I'll cut & paste here, as Van's support wont be back until Monday:
"I ordered/recv'd a complete set of FWF drawings (FWF Doc) with my modified finish kit this weekend. At first review, I'm seeing some inconsistancies with my physical firewall and what the drawings show. I'm hoping this is due to my kit being a -1 version and the drawings being dated, but I need some clarification, as this is a first go-round for me...
The holes for control cable pass-thrus were pre-drilled at the factory...none of the cable holes are the same as the drawing. In fact they are oriented in a "triangle" ?
The hole for the heat box pass-thru was pre-drilled as well. This appears to be the location for a IO engine, however, I'm using a carb engine...will this other location be a problem?
The pressure/sender manifold is mounted either vertically or horizontally depending on carb or FI. Well, the previous question makes me wonder about interference if I mount it one way or the other?
I'm concerned a decision made and a hole drilled will be a mistake once the mount and engine go on...can you help?"
Very frustrated at first glance with these "plans". They seem to try and encompass the 7/8/9 with either a carb or FI...guess I was expecting something a little more model specific. Any input appreciated, especially from the -8A guys with a carb!![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
