(actually, it has been pretty easy, and fun, in a wierd sort of way). I purchased the EGT probes with the weld-on bungs from ACS. The problem is the leads are only about a foot long and they have ring terminals on the ends. Do I cut these and solder (or weld) extensions so they will reach the EMU box? Would a standard terminal block work? Any other solutions? For the CHT probes, I have drilled a 1/8" hole in the web next to each leading spark plug. The bottom of the hole stops at the steel liner of the center housing. I have ordered "J" type thermocouple wire and will tig weld the connections. My question is... do I need to insulate the junction to prevent it from making contact with the metal housing, or does that matter? Should I pot these into the holes, or just stick them down into the holes and leave it go at that? Mark S. (my turn to wrestle the wild EMU)
