I wonder if anyone has ever tried to connect 1 gauge, CHT that is, to 2 cylinders. I can envision the leads coming from the spark-plugs connected to a toggle switch or some type of selector switch and then on to the gauge. Switch to the right, and I get the temp of the right side, switch to the left and I get the left side temp. Could it work? Did I read somewhere that the length of the wire has something to do with the accuracy?
I know there are gauges out there that will show temps on all 4 cylinders, but I do not want to invest that much. Just looking at the VDO CHT gauge. Any thoughts, Clark |

Westach makes a kit that can use 4 CHT sensors to hook to one gauge. It hooks all the sensors to a 4 position switch and then goes up to a common gauge. Pretty slick and you don't get any more accurate than a Westach set-up.
