Anybody have the pinouts for a Bendix Ignition Exciter, p/n 10-378340-1? Three pins, A, B, C. I think it's A= Ground, B=DC 7-30v, C=not connected. Also, does anyone know who can make me a custom harness for this unit? -- Get rid of SPAM like I did! http://spamarrest.com/affl?413905

I'm planning on changing my mags soon. Is there anything I should know going into this. I've never installed mags. I will get my A&P to time them and check them out. Thanks Steve

In any event I sure wouldn't want to be that young man from Minnesota who was arrested and charged the other day. I wonder what it must have felt like for him to spend his first day sitting at home with an electronic bracelet on his ankle.... no computers to play with, not allowed to...

I have an older 447 and was wondering how can you tell which ignition I've got. Would like to buy a video manual for overhaul and need to know if it is a point ignition or ducati. Haven't taken it apart yet, so I can't tell if it has points. Is there another way to tell? (also posted in...
