Building an RV9a with lycoming O360 B2C. Slick mag on Left and Lightspeed on Right.
Lightspeed will fire the top plugs and mag will fire the bottom plugs.(???)
Put the cap with all the plug wires on the Slick mag today. The #1 wire is marked on the cap and there is only one way it fits, so I am assuming I did that right.
I am struggling to figure out which cylinders the other three wires go to.
Here is my thinking:
Rotation of Slick mag on the left as seen from cockpit is clockwise.
Firing order of engine is 1-3-2-4
Sooooo. The wire 1 position clockwise should go to #3 right? But that wire barely reaches if I streach it straight from the cap to the cylinder and don't route it along any reasonable routing. And the wires to 2 and 4 are very long!!!!
I could change positions of the wires on the Slick mag cap, but that seems like a BAD idea and should not be needed.
Can anyone clue me in on where my reasoning is falty?
Thanks,
Duane
