Hi,

  

 My O-320 D2A has 3 sump drain plugs.  Should  I use any 

 particular plug to drain the oil?  Are  the three drain plugs 

 for the convenience of various aircraft  types?

  

 One more question:

  

 I have a P-Mag and a Slick impulse mag on the  O-320.  I 

 can see where the P-lead goes on the Slick  mag.  I'm using a 

 toggle switch to  control the magneto and am using the shield at

 the switch end to complete the circuit. Is  this the way to wire

 it or will grounding both ends of the shield  generate noise?

 (My Rotax past isn't  helpful here!)

  

 Thanks guys,

Joe,

 Use whichever of the three sump drains that is  most convenient for you.

  

 On the wiring for the mag.If you are using the  shield to complete the grounding circuit, it would not be grounded on  the switch end. The shield is providing  the second leg of the P lead grounding from the switch.
