Hey, I think I may have found it...
5763 Electric Fuel Pressure 0-100psi
The list price is $250 though!! :-P
Speaking of guages, does anyone here use EGT and CHT guages?
(Exhaust gas temp and cylinder head temp). Ultralight pilots
practically fly by 'em; they're very important to monitor when
making jetting changes and you also keep an eye on 'em when
you're flying to watch for early warning signs of engine
seizure.
Seems like they might be a valuable insight on my truck
too... ? I would guess the EGT requires welding a bung
into the exhaust pipe similar to the O2 sensor, but how
about the CHT? On my ultralight, its just a little ring
that fits over the spark plug hole; you stick it on the spark
plug and then thread the plug into the cylinder. Something
like that would be a lot easier to deal with than having to
drill into the head, I would think.
What do you think? Would EGT/CHT guages be of any use?
