Once i do the bucket seat conversion i am ging to install an EGT gauge in it that has warning light.

Does anybody use one here??

What cylinder is best to drill and tap for the probe??

I know on my eclipse the max temp was 1400deg F but does it hold true for the lightning as well.

#5 Cylinder, front driver side, 1" from the head. and 1400 is a good number to avoid.

 

I plan on using #8 cyl. it seems to be the one that runs the leanest.

 

#5 and #6 are the leanest cylinders on the truck according to Ford. Also every time I have pulled the plugs, (loss count now) they read as the leanest of all 8.

 

ok guys!!!

What exhaust runner is the easiest to access to drill and tap for the probe!!!!

On my motor when it went the ft plugs were ok as I got farther back the electrodes started getting deep into the pocelan[sp].So that is why I thought that the back cyl's were leaner.Stan
