* It is essential for the entire system that the fuel pressure is correctly set. You will do that by adjusting the fuel pressure regulator according to what the avionics show. Make sure, you select the correct fuel pressure sensor make and model in the avionics setup menu. Best to temporary hook up a fuel pressure gauge to have a second mean to confirm, it is set correctly. | * It is essential for the entire system that the fuel pressure is correctly set.

* SDS sends two different kind of spark plug 90 degree boots. One kind is for the coils, the other for the spark plug side. Check the SDS pictures. | * SDS sends two different kind of spark plug 90 degree boots. One kind is for the coils, the other for the spark plug side. Check the SDS pictures. | ||

*If you need to replace a wire in the bundle, these are the connector family specs:<br>[[File:Screen Shot 2023-04-03 at 9.10.15 AM.png|500x500px]]<br>In particular, the female crimp pins are Digikey order no WM2501CT-ND. The proper crimp tool for this family of contacts is Molex 640160200. | * If you need to replace a wire in the bundle, these are the connector family specs:<br>[[File:Screen Shot 2023-04-03 at 9.10.15 AM.png|500x500px]]<br>In particular, the female crimp pins are Digikey order no WM2501CT-ND.

* Attaching wires properly to the SDS supplied fuel pumps is cumbersome once they are mounted in the tunnel. The nuts are tiny and you need to torque the nut against the underlying nut to avoid twisting the hole post, and you need to be careful not to strip the post. Consider putting wires on them before you mount them. SDS suggests using 15A breakers for the pumps (and they confirm that this is sufficient) however the pumps have a note engraved to use 20A ones. If you go with 20A breakers, you will need AWG 12 wire, else 14 for 15A. | |||
