Return to Index   A little more Merlin..........will it ever end? July 20 2012 at 3:39 AM Wolf Buddee  (Login KramerDog) HyperScale Forums from IP address 174.1.84.164 Of course it will, but for right now here's where I'm at with it. After messing up on the installation of the upper ignition conduit, I tore it all off and started again. Not only did I have the installation wrong but I had it out of position. In trying to move it where I wanted it I buggered up my scratch-built clamps so off it came. So did a bunch of other stuff that I decided I wasn't happy with. SIGH It all worked out OK though as the modifications I made look much better including the raised position of the ignition conduit over the stbd intake manifold. I've attached 4 of the twelve ignition wires so far and I hope to have the rest installed by this weekend, time permitting.There's still a lot more to do, especially once the Merlin is secured within it's mounting frame. Slowly but surely it's gettin' there but I'm beginning to see this Merlin in my sleep, LOL!
