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... |

Thanks as always... You can run the VDO sensor under a fine threaded bolt in the OE sensor's location, but the sensor is designed to go under the spark plug, so you will not get accurate CYL temp, only the head temp in the region of CYL 3. I tried it there, because of the location, is not as hot as on the plug, and the temp gauge is slower to report the cyl temps. So, you could spike temp in a cyl before you know it..... Important if you are racing or pushing the engine all the time. |
