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

The probes are actually pretty spendy. They list for about $90 a piece, the innovate (cheap) ones - I found them cheaper on ebay. You need a 4 channel thermocoupler amplifier also, like Innovate's tc-4 which is like $100-$150 depending where you get it. You can use the tc-4 without the probes, just k thermocouplers to save money. I can see using 1 channel on efi because there is no per-cylinder adjustment, but carbs have ay more adjustment.

Not sure what generation you are, but I have tuned carbs for years by reading plugs. So, one sensor and gauge is a whole lot more than I ever had...and one does work. Not everyone can afford everything and the OP is looking for a cheap solution. One sensor will work if that is what he can afford... A single sensor and a single gauge. Oh, btw...I do know how they work. Carbs a far easier to tune than EFI' so don't over think it. Based upon your elevation, your camshaft, and your head combo, I know at least five people that can give you a very decent base setup for carbs that will be damn close to right on the money. You may be over thinking this and you might want to spend your small budget on other more important things than a gauge you may never really need. Rich |
