The picture is right side up C the Avids mounted the engine inverted. Also C I meant to say about the gauges questions C check barnstormers or ebay for instruments. Sometimes you can get a good deal there. There was a guy on Ebaythat bought out a dealers supply and he was selling a dual EGT for about $30. I posted a message on here a few months ago about a Kitfox airspeed indicator for $60 on ebay C that was the guy with lots of other instruments. If you find the message C you should be able to track him down. Also C last week a guy named Tony Wright had a bunch of adds on Barnstormers and I think he had some EGT gauges also. I bought a carb temp. gauge from him. Jim Chuk Kitfox 4 building. Mn

That is how I pictured it Jim C although maybe a bit closer to the cylinders C not that it probably matters.
It looks like there is some discoloration at the probe holes C probably from exhaust escaping? That's why I was thinking a bit of manifold goop-sealer-stuff might be a good idea(?)
Also - is the picture upside down or the engine?

I should have thaought about haveing pictures that show this last night C but better late than never they say. This was a picture of my Avid MK IV with 582 before I changed it to the Jabiru engine. Also C look at the probes in a catalog C they come installed in the hose clamp from the factory.

Off topic...how'd you do the picture insert with no framing or
background around it? Very cool!

I wouldn't right off the fuel sensor too quickly - apart from the obvious benefits of knowing exactly how much fuel you have remaining and the real time fuel burn I also find it is a great tool for setting up for cruise at the best possible fuel burn rate. Sometimes by just changing RPM marginally you can pick up significant savings in fuel burn.
This has a lot to do with prop loading and engine power curve and when used in conjunction with EGT monitoring you really get a great understanding of what your engine is doing.

Already ordered it Gary - I agree with everything you say! I'm going to install it just past a new gascolator, the old one is getting a bit tired and leaky.

It's very surprising that it came out that clean. Usually a picture
will carry some kind of background with it, and therefore bring some
sort of "framing" with it. That one didn't, and came out very clean.
Credit? Maybe by giving their website, you ARE giving them
credit...at least that's what I'd tell my lawyer (gag!) to say I
intended. : )

Went to http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/westegt6.php and
drag-and-dropped the picture onto the reply email. Easy 
Maybe I should have given ACS credit? (copyright!!)
