I have a 1973 with a 2.2 4 cylinder. I'm a bit paranoid about temps and would like to install a cylinder head temp gauge. If I use the spark plug washer type sender, which would be the best cylinder to install in on? Which would be the hottest?
Cheers, Elliot |

in a type4 they should all get equally hot (in theory at least),
#3 was hotter on type1 motors because of the different oil-cooler placement. anyways, i'd say it's pretty useless unless you install one for each cylinder. there are switches you can install in front of your gauge that let's you switch between the 4 senders, or, you can get 4 gauges ... the spark-plug senders work fine, but remember that that also means your spark plug will not be all the way inside the head and most likley not in the same rotational angle as without the sender, which might cause some loss of spark ... EDIT: loss of spark not as in electrical, but rather blown out by the moving gases etc. or the spark ends up in a location not ideal for igniting the fuel blah blah ... Andy |
