Day 28: Stared work on the ignitors. Tomorrow will be injector hot tests!

Harbor Freight saved the day with the broken pipe. The EZ out extractor set took it out without an single problem!

Started work on the ignitors. They consist of a short circuit dipped in a nitro cellulose emulsifer of black powered.... which is just a fancy way of saying a ping pong ball melted in an acetone milkshake with black powder sprinkles. I tested a couple and they worked well enough. I think I will still wrap them in cotton and dip them in fuel for the tests.

I got the new solenoid installed as well and everything checked out with the control panel. As soon as I stop my leaky connections I will be able to start some testing!
