FIREWALL PREPARATION
Parts Required
__ Voltage Regulator, ACV-A01-20
__ Ignition Coils (Red), Qty. 2, ACV-A01-25
__ AN-grade hardware as required (not supplied)
Before the engine is installed on the engine mount, the firewall
should be prepared. This includes mounting the AeroVee's
secondary ignition coils and voltage regulator.
Though not part of the AeroVee kit, careful consideration
must be given to the placement of the gascolator, battery box,
master solenoid, and other firewall-mounted components to
avoid interference with the engine installation and assure ease
of maintenance.
Voltage Regulator Installation
Note: The voltage regulator must be grounded. In a typical
installation the regulator will be grounded through the hard-
ware which secures it to the firewall. If your installation uses
non-conductive materials for the firewall, or for the mounting
of the regulator, dedicated ground wires will be necessary
between the regulator and a suitable ground point.
__ 1. Mount the voltage
regulator to the firewall
in a location which
allows easy connection
of the wires from the
alternator. The use of
3/8" long stand-offs
(aluminum or bronze
tubing) is recom-
mended to space the
regulator away from
the firewall.
Wiring the alternator to the
voltage regulator is described
later in this manual.
Stand-offs (A) are used to
space the regulator off the
firewall.

Stand-offs (B) are used to space the coils off the firewall.
Secondary Ignition Coil Installation
Note: The ignition coils must be grounded. In a typical instal-
lation the coils will be grounded through the hardware which
secures them to the firewall. If your installation uses non-con
-
ductive materials for the firewall, or for mounting the coils,
dedicated ground wires will be necessary between the coils
and a suitable ground point.
__ 1. Mount the ignition coils (ACV-A01-25) to the firewall
in a location which allows easy connection of the lower
spark plug wires. The use of 3/4" long stand-offs (alu-
minum or bronze tubing) is recommended to space the
coils away from the firewall.
