Got a few of questions regarding installing the CHT 1000 gage from Aircraft Spruce:
1) Should I buy the 15 or 7 foot lead? I know the 15' would be safer, but I don't want to coil lots of wire. 2) Can I put the sensor under the d-jet cht sensor or does it have to go under the #3 plug? 3) Can I use the 14mm lead end on 12mm spark plug? Planning on an engine swap soon and.don't want to buy 2 lead ends. |

QUOTE(Highland @ Nov 7 2014, 12:55 PM)  Got a few of questions regarding installing the CHT 1000 gage from Aircraft Spruce: 1) Should I buy the 15 or 7 foot lead?

Planning on an engine swap soon and.don't want to buy 2 lead ends. Others may have more experience and better input, but here are my thoughts: 1. Get the 15 foot. If you have to coil it, it's better than being short, and 7' seems way short. On my Dakota Digital CHT I THINK I got the 10 foot option which I thought would be plenty long. But once you start trying to wrap the leads out of the way you quickly chew up linear length, and right now I could use another foot or two. 2. It would seem to me you COULD put it under the CHT sensor. What's the problem with putting it on the #3 plug, though? 3. Not sure. I do know with the Dakota Digital I had to increase the size of the opening so I could get it over the spark plug threads. (Maybe that's why you want to put it under the CHT?). |
