I have down loaded the Service kit instructions. Many thanks to the 170.org for providing the service.
My C170B was converted to ALT from 35 G .
Professional install by A&P IA left a little to be desired.
Always questioned the terminus of old original wiring to the new kit wiring connections.
simple bolt/nut ties old to new. Really -- looking at a knot of electrical tape for 25 years. Really are you kidding me.
I have never been able to confirm that a diode was ever installed.
Thus my question. Would you please show me your diode? Photos iPhone with a flashlight ?
