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.

Thanks for the info - I knew y'all would be able to help. Naturally, I have follow up questions...

First - can I assume these CHT gauges utilize the OE sensor in the head (I have brand new HAM heads drilled/tapped for OE sensor at cyl. #3) and also assume they connect to the OE wiring (single lead from sensor)?

Second - era vulgaris what's the story behind that poster in your garage with the police car and the daisy dukes? I think I need one of those.

Thanks as always...

I don't think so. The Dakota Digital uses a thermocouple with a sensor (14mm?) that goes under the spark plug. No use of the OE sensor. I think others may be similar in some or most cases.
