THE PLT STATED THAT AFTER TAKEOFF, THE ELECTRICAL SYS FAILED AS HE RETRACTED THE GEAR. HE ELECTED TO RETURN TO THE ARPT & LAND. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE ENG LOST POWER. HE FURTHER STATED THAT HE HAND CRANKED THE GEAR TO THE DOWN POSITION & RECEIVED A LIGHT FROM THE TOWER TO LAND. HOWEVER, WHEN HE LANDED, THE GEAR WAS NOT EXTENDED. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED THAT THE P-LEAD ON A MAGNETO HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED. NO OTHER PREACCIDENT/MECHANICAL DISCREPANCIES WERE FOUND.
