Continuing on with FWF wiring, the PMags are up next. All of the wiring for each PMag goes into a green connector that then gets screwed into the body. There have been quite a few reports of wires coming out of these connectors if they are just inserted and clamped down with the screws. Out of the many solutions people have tried, I decided to use barrel connectors (at least that's what I call them). The wire is inserted into a hollow tube and then crimped with a 4 sided crimper. It gives the screw of the PMag connector more to bite into than just the wire strands.
The routing of the wires to the PMags took a lot of head scratching to figure out how to get around all of the other random things and still be supported. The left PMag has the wire connector on the bottom and the right PMag has it on the top. I did the wire contortions and got it all sorted out, only to later stumble on the fact that the PMags can actually be rotated to different orientations. So I could have changed the left side to be wire side up had I known. That would have been easier to wire, but that ship has sailed. While I was messing with the area around the PMags, I also connected the oil pressure sensor (brown/white wire under the oil filter).
The PMags use manifold pressure to assist with ignition timing (although it's not required, so they will still function even without it). The manifold pressure line goes from the engine, through the firewall to the manifold pressure sensor, then T's off and comes back out the firewall to go to the PMags. The same line can be used for both PMags by using another T. It's hard to see where all of these pieces are in pictures - the manifold pressure line is the black tube that runs along the front/top of the engine mount.
Last up for today was finalizing the wire bundle that goes around the battery for some power connections. I added the two power wires for the PMags. I didn't have the right size ring connectors for 16 AWG wire (they need to have a much bigger hole for a 1/4" bolt). I do have some large hole 10-12 AWG ring terminals though, so I just crimped both 16 AWG wires together in the larger terminal and connected it to the stud on the starter relay.
