Angier,
Hang on to the Airflow Performance catalog. You will most likely also be
ordering a different mixture control arm to gain clearance to your cowl. You
may also need a spacer (Airflow makes these to order) between the elbow and the
bottom of the pan depending on how you feel about the clearance between the
exhaust cross-over and the injector unit. I ultimately decided against the
spacer and put in a heat shield between the injector and the exhaust. There are
several different ways to route hoses to the injector unit and I moved the inlet
(I believe) from the exhaust side to the bottom side (with the mixture arm on
the co-pilot's side). Don't forget to use steel fittings and a great source for these is
Weatherhead, available at any NAPA store. Some fittings need o-rings and you'll
see these in the Weatherhead catalog too. The fittings are a wee bit confusing
so have patience and plan on many trips back to NAPA. Incidently, I purchased
my Y-pipe for ram/filtered air switching from Airflow. As I mentioned
previously, it's bigger than necessary but Airflow also sells a nice adapter to
fit it to our injector units. A great source of hoses is Skyranch something or other (see the archives for
name and number) and of the 9 hoses I bought, I sent one back for lengthening
(free of charge). I got the brown "lifetime" hoses which cost an arm and a leg
but look to be worth it. I can't comment on Airflow's fuel pump. I bought the unit offered by
Lancair. Best Regards,
Ed de Chazal
