Hi John,

I have a Franklin 220hp 6A-350-C1R on my experimental Velocity. My A&P and I installed the EMS package on my engine a few years ago. Happy to help answer any questions.

I don't seem to have any good pics of the install but my MAP sensor is mounted on the hot side of the firewall and is connected to the #2 cylinder's primer port. I mounted the sensor a bit higher in elevation than the primer port so that any fuel/oil mist that condenses in the line pools at the bottom of the MP hose near the port making it easier to clean out. I also installed a MP restrictor fitting from Van's aircraft to dampen the pulses (and to help keep fluids from getting into the MP line). Not sure what you can use for a certified install but I would highly recommend installing a restrictor if at all possible.

I’ll have to look into the restrictor. Appreciate the heads up.

Thanks
