Marv,

I have seen 90C (190F) behind the baffling on my 320.  This is why I have a blast tube for the Voltage regulator and vacuum pump.  I use the "carb" temp probe of my VM system as a movable "cowl" probe.  If it goes off scale, I'm jumping!

Frankly, I would use a temp probe with cockpit readout and a setable warning level device (oven temp control?).  As usual, if it is well placed, a normal "under cowl" temperature range could be determined from experience and a too cold (leaking baffle? engine stoppage?) or too hot (summer heat soaking, FIRE!, etc.) would be intellegently dealt with.
