Hi Doug,

I bought the P-110 EGT probes from Aircraft Spruce.  These have 1/4 tab
connectors about 1 foot from the probe.  The Micro-1000 probes are
about 1/2 the price of the P-110s.  For some reason I didn't find them
back when I ordered.

I plan on using faston connectors crimped to type K thermocouple lead
all the way from there to my EM-2 which will have crimp on pins for D
connector.  Each discontinuity will introduce some error, but it will
be small compared to the EGT you are measuring.  Any EGT probe should
work OK.  Mine are located about 1.5 inches from the exhaust port.  I
should be able to report on their survivability in another month or two.

There are so many types and to choose from that I'd rather attempt  to get one
that will last for a while prior to failure.  Also from what  I've read it
seems to be best to run continuous wires right from the  thermocouple and through
the firewall to the gauge (EM2 in my case)...is that  what most of you have
found to work the best, or can the leads be run  through a 24 pin connector (or
similar device) at the firewall and then onto the  engine monitor?  Thanks
for any input...

I really thought this would be the year that I'd finally make Tracy's  get
together but job  constraints have conspired against me  again!  To all heading
down there have a fun and safe time!
