Bill,
I am considering going with the E-Mags. Can you provide some details on your use in your 320? Are you using two of the the P-version Emags, or one regular and one P-version? Was installation as easy as they indicate on their website? I'm kicking around the idea of one E-Mag and one magneto - thoughts? Anything else that you can think of about the E-Mags would be helpful.
Thanks,

John,
Yes, it's frustrating. I've been waiting for my 6 cylinder E-Mags for well over a year. HOWEVER, every time I talk to them they are extremely clear that they have not set a date for release. Only when I really press them will they give me their "guess". They make sure to say that their guesses are usually wrong and that they are not promises or schedules. Actually, I find it a bit refreshing compared to some of the "it'll ship next week" promises that I've heard from other manufacturers.
I've been using their 4 cylinder product on our 320 for a little over 500 hours. I have found it to be more dependable and far more efficient than a standard magneto. At the same true airspeed I save almost 1 gallon per hour (160 hp stock Lyc O-320) over a magneto. This fuel savings has easily paid for the ignition system. If this same efficiency and dependability carries over to the Continental 6 cylinder, I can't imagine any reason not to install it.
I have no connection to E-Mag, financial or otherwise, and am passing on this information only as a report of the results that I have had with their product.

I agree with Doug - it is one of the best examples of vapor hardware ever.
BTW, are the 4 cylinder ones "certified"?
