What are you going to use to "draw" your schematic?
Are you going to sketch it on paper and then scan it?
If so, there are a number of folks on the list (including me) who
could take your paper drawing and convert it to some electronic
format.
Personally, I'm pretty handy with Visio and could generate a
very nice drawing that could be added as a .JPG to Sean's
web page or the main Dak mailing list page for all to see.
How do you recommend we get a temp sensor into the water jacket
on the intake or heads?
Thanks.
