Well, after speaking with the Owner, founder of MGL this is the absolute best price we are gonna get. If anybody wants this gauge, now is the time to let me know. I will leave this thread till Monday and we will see if we have any takers.

$375.00

Attached Image

price includes.
  1. MGL Avionics TC-2 Thermocouple Temperature Display
  2. 4pcs CHT sensor for 14mm plug, type K, 10 foot ea
We need at least 10 complete kits to make this happen. I will check the thread on Monday and if we are GO, I will shoot out pm's with shipping to each party interested. I will then ship each unit myself. The manufacture said it will take 2 - 3 weeks to ship out. I have no expierence with this gauge, and if you guys need to see it in action, Cant help you. I will be purchasing one for myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm in.

These use the ring terminal thermocouples under the spark plugs, yeah? Is 10 feet enough? The one I will replace is a 14 foot cable and it is TIGHT getting it to the cable to the gauge in the A piller. I don't think I could route it with only 10 feet of cable.

The TC-2 is a one to four channel instrument.
Check the Aircraft Spruce website to see if MGL makes one for 6 channels.

This would be really cool but then it would ruin my image of being the guy who just jumps in and drives the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) out of my cars without worrying about all that stuff. Kind of takes the fun out of it for me. Well, that and the fact I'm flat broke. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

You could also use the same gauge for Exhaust Gas temps.

IMO even more important that Head Temps....

One head temp is good enough, but for carbed cars, EGT can tell you if you have just one jet clogged.
