A few weeks ago I was inspecting the shielded cable that contains the two P-leads and the wire pair for the shower of sparks. For the CJ, this cable goes to the Cannon plug located in the upper left hand corner of the firewall. My CJ is from 1983 and it’s a good assumption that all of this was original. I removed the cable and part off it disintegrated in my hands!
For those with older Yaks and CJs, it would probably be worth taking a close look at the engine compartment electrical cabling. The P-lead cable is especially important as developing a problem here may lead to a hot prop when pulling through the engine. Have since completely rebuilt this cable.
The old adage still holds true. We fly these airplanes to see what needs to be fixed next.
