Where is the best place to mount a EGT probe on 4-1 headers? I have triad headers with a triad muffler.

Ok, maybe I should change the focus of my original post. I have dual weber 44 idf's on my 2256. I have an innovate lc1 with gauge. I also have cht senders on cyl 1,3 spark plugs. My big problem is that I am paranoid that although my overall air fuel mixture is ok, engine is running okI may still have some sort of a air fuel problem. For example lets say cyl 1,2 had mixture of 11 and 3,4 had 16. That would give me numbers around 13-14.
My cht numbers are 300 on cyl3,4 and 290 on 1,2. My oil temps are generally good however they can get very high after driving heavily for awhile. I do have an external cooler. My spark plugs on cyl 1,2 are white and on cyl 3,4 they are black deep in on the porcelain however white near the electrode. I think there are too many factors that are off and I am getting confused. I was hoping the egt may help me get things situated however that doesn't appear to be the case. Any thoughts? (Other than take it to a reputable mechanic- that's no fun) |
