egt gauge on inline six
ok i have a carberated 1980 inline 6 i know that on turboed 4 cylinders u install them about 6 inches from the head and they read between 1200 to 1500...1200 deg being the right 14.7 to 1 air/fuel ratio...now can i do the same with a carberated inline 6...if i do does anybody know what temperature it should read????1200deg the same as a four banger???just was wandering so that way it would be easier to dial in my carberator and keep a check on things....i live in cincinnati and unfortunately have to do an e-check so id like to tune it so that it passes and is right

Maybe its because people generally don't use EGT gauges on naturally aspirated engines, maybe 1 person in 50,000? Couple that with the fact that the inline six isn't as popular an engine and your chances of an answer are slim, if you tried the general engine section (since this isn't an inline 6 specific question) you might have more luck.

wow a turbod 4.9 ...thats sweet as heck...i wish mine was fuel injected so that would be a possiblility.........so i guess ill just shoot for around 1400 to 1500 then......i know its more of a turbo thing to do with the egt...but like i said i just wanna use it to keep an eye on things and pass the stupid e-check here in ohio....i notice u are from ohio too...u have e-check where u live or u lucky enough not to live in one of them counties?
