The airplane that engine spent its previous life in, the Cessna 172 Cutlass RG,  is a 28v airplane.   So I have a useless 28v alternator and a useless 28v starter.   Maybe not useless, but certainly of no use to me; I&#8217;m going to run a 14v system.  Maybe.  What I don&#8217;t get is what&#8217;s going to be 12v and what&#8217;s going to be 14v and whether or not it matters.   So another thing to puzzle out.   The good news is, i&#8217;ll be able to keep my firewall penetrations to a minimum, because the MGL RDAC (the box all the sensor probes connect to) is mounted on the engine side, with one comm wire going back through the firewall to the EFIS.   I&#8217;ll need to poke holes for the panel bus power and the control cables, but that should be it.  I hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After I cleaned up the shop, I had a look at the engine.
