Being a 2.0 late car and having a tendency to run on the hot side and living in a hot climate, I think I should consider a cylinder head temp gauge. I have not seen one installed and would like to know how to proceed.
Now since putting the backdated HE on and the aux oil cooler oil temps have never been over 225/230 at the hardest running in the mountains on sustained up hill climbs. And I will finally have everything cleaned off properly and the tins all removed from the motor , under side cleaned up and have new warm air guides that were not on the car before, which should help as well. Either way seems like a good time to do this. advice on installation, wiring etc Thanks, Phil |

Also running the Dakota Digital CHT gauge. You will need to get the 14 mm thermocouple. it is 18' long, which fits and $26.95 I bought directly from them.
