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. |

I have used a VDO gauge with the spark plug sender. I'm not looking for dead on accuracy. I have established a normal range of 325 to 375. High way cruising it's about right on 350. It could be 350 +or- a few degrees. I can tell with a quick glance at the gauge if things are OK. I saw temps over 400 one time. A long stretch up hill for a few miles west bound from Needles to Barstow into about a 40 mph head wind. The engine wouldn't answer the throttle. I had to pull over and stop to let things cool down. Luckily no damage. Without the CHT gauge, I might have over temped and damaged something. I highly recommend a CHT for every air cooled engine.
