First, I've always been a fan of electronic ignitions. I looked into DIS a LOOOOONG time ago (Remember the '87 Buick Grand National?).
So, when the time came to install, not one, but two, DIS systems, I was anxious to get started.
Especially since one was a Real Tiger and the other was an AG Tiger.
How long does it take: Realistically, 16-20 hours.
Why? you ask? I spent at least 4 to 6 hours on each plane just looking for a place to put all the pieces and trial fitting everything before I drilled any holes.
1) Magneto Timing Housing: It replaces the right mag. That part was pretty easy.
However . . . The lead (wire connection) on the MTH is about a mile long (18 inches?) and I needed to find a place
somewhere above the accumulation of oil and dirt to mount it.
Then, of course, the wiring harness from the Controller is really long for a Grumman and I wanted it
to be where someone could R&R the MTH if necessary. So the connector had to be accessible.
Note: Best Case. It would be a whole lot better to have the connector right on the MTH housing.
