In case anyone has to replace their CHT sensor which is a PITA, you'll have to make some type of tool. I ground down a corner off a 3" extension, and attached a deep socket.
It's much easier to install and uninstall if you remove the decel valve and MPS. Here's a picture of the extension and socket with the CHT ready to install. I attached the washer to the CHT sensor with a drop of superglue: |

Nice tool! What size is that socket? I will be crafting one up myself. Not to hijack, but I suspect I need a new CHT for my 1974 D-Jet and found these on Ebay. Price seems very reasonable. Are these legit?

When I did mine I took a cutting wheel and cut a groove wide enough for the wire to pass through into the corner of a 3" cheapie extension. That way it doesn't weaken the entire corner of the extension (although the're inexpensive) to much. Keith |
