Rebuilding a track-car I haven't used for 10 years, it has 2 VDO head temp gauges and was set up for #s 1 and 3. I'd like to be able to watch all four.
Has anybody ever set any thing up for this before? I'd like a switch to change from 1 & 3 to 2 & 4? |

I don't even run CHT on my race car at all I use innovate wide band O2 for mixture but in order to cut weight no CHT what so ever Attached image(s)
