I've seen that before Steve... Old Stoddards wing tank STC that adds another tank in each wing... The right fuel valve is added and controls the right wing tanks while the original fuel valve controls just the left tanks... So if you want right outboard tank you have that valve set to RO and the left valve set to off...or you can run both outboard tanks by setting each valve to LO and RO... A bit confusing but it works...

That is correct. I have a total of 58 Gallon of fuel. I always fly each tank individually, never tried running both outboard tanks at the same time.
Old and new panel I’ve been working on the last couple weeks for my tailwheel Super Colt. Right side is a JPI 730 above an aerospace logic fuel gauge. Left side is a EI fuel totalizer. Red and greed lights are for loss of oil pressure and alternator. Couldn’t justify going with Garmin G5. DC1028AE-8A27-47A1-A0C8-03DC8F5EF30F.jpg5E118AFA-EDED-4D90-9D33-F7FF72980180.jpg

Just wrapped up a full rebuild onmy pa22/20. Here is a comparison between the old and new panels. I might repaint the panel if it reflects the strobes too much.
IMG_2991-1.JPGI've moved some things around. Made my Pocket Panel D2 primary, and moved vacuum operated AI just to right of iPad running FlyQ as a back-up to the PPD2. My original AC Delco tachometer turned its last RPM a month ago, and could not be rebuilt so I had an EI tachometer installed. $468 from Spruce and $150 to install. It is cool. Increments digitally at 10 RPM resolution. My run-up mag checks have a new level of fidelity. I used to know the needle moved and I could hear the RPM drop. Now I know it drops 70 RPM on left and 80 RPM on right mag. Now I know my idle with carb heat on is 580 RPM. Very pleased.

Is your manifold pressure gauge stuck at 35? Mine is and it looks like yours is too. Any idea why? Wish I had read this post earlier. Just replaced my tach with a traditional one. Cost almost the exact same but yours is way better.
