For just the engine, I have:
1. Redo FWC to use fresh water in the block and raw water in the manifold - almost done. I still need to hook up a hose and fill the system. I am changing the ballasts on my FWC pumps to 0.25 ohm from 0.5 ohm. I am seeing 11.9 volts on the pumps underway and I am sure they can stand more than that.
2. Add a Moyer dipstick so I can check the oil without hanging over the engine.
3. Add dual/electronic ignition. I got this idea from a Corvair car engine I saw being prepped to use in an airplane. The Crane XR-I will fit under the distributor cap with the original points in place. I have a spare distributor to get the location perfected on the plate so the points and EI fire more or less at once. I have an extra coil and a spark combiner on hand already for this. The plan was to use one at a time and be able to switch between them.
4. Maybe add an oil temp gauge.
