After leveling off at 6,500msl, CHTs were uniformly running approximately 40+ degrees higher than normal. Upon landing, the problem was eventually traced to one of my PMag ignitions that, was going to full advance at idle (39degrees). This was a failure mode of electronic ignitions that I hadn't considered before. Given the engine seemed to be running fine otherwise, I didn't try switching off one ignition in flight, which likely would have pinpointed the problem.
