I have searched - cannot find much on aftermarket CHT Gauges.
I am building a 2056 that will run dual Dells - would like to install a quality CHT gauge and wondering what others have used. |

Never, under any circumstance should the stock CHT sensor boss be used with a CHT gauge.
I have proven over and over again that this position takes too long to see thermal changes, and is 50F lower in temperature, all the time, than the under spark plug location. The stock CHT location was chosen for the EFI system for many reasons that won't apply to CHT gauge. Primarily, the fact that the location was chosen because it takes longer to warm up, and also longer to cool down than other locations in the head casting. For a CHT gauge, the ONLY place that the sensor can be located, for any level of response time, and accuracy, is under the spark plug. |
