I'm close to being done, do I need to install blast tube to the mag and
to the alternator? What have you guys done.

No blast tubes, no problems with Slick mags or B&C alternator, but then again, I have a wimpy little O-320, as you well know!
Mark - 387 hours and the only blast I do is OFF!

One to the B&C alternator, one to each of the mags and one to the vacuum pump on my -6. Only needed if you care about doing whatever you can to ensure long service life from those components.

RE: Subject: Re: Blast tubes or not:
Harry's remarks about service life are very good. I have blast tubes on the
following:
front ram air - alternator, on the rear baffle - both mags and the fuel
pump.
I have no vacuum pump installed Did I overdo it - maybe. Will I suffer for
it? Definitely not! Mony well spent ( < $5.00).

We installed two blast tubes to the alternator, one to the vaccuum pump, one
to each of the mags, and one to cool the fuel transducer which comes close
to the exhaust pipe.
