I'm finishing my -8A. I have an Aerosport IO-360 180hp engine with one Lightspeed and one mag. Electrical power is a B&C 40 amp alternator.
I am pondering component cooling requirements. The B&C guys say not to worry about separately cooling the alternator. The Lightspeed controller is aft of the firewall/ But what about the mag? Does it require a separate scat tube?
My original idea was to just leave a small gap on the aft baffle where it contacts the engine near the mag.
Whadda you guys think?
