Egt probe install

I remember a great write up on gauge install including the egt probe. I have searched and cannot locate it, I even searched the tech files. If you know where it is located please let me know. I am adding an egt gauge and the generic install does not cover correct wires to tap into etc.

Thanks in advance.

It's best to tap into the back of the drivers side exhaust manifold for an egt gauge.

Just did mine this weekend following this writeup. Remember to start with a small bit and work your way up to letter R drillbit to keep metal shavings small. when you are all done take a vacuum and suck out the debris from the hole. DO NOT coat your bits in any type of lube or grease as this will just make a mess.

If you really inventive you could take some PVC pipe and a vacuum
and hook the hose up so that the end mates up to the manifold and
surrounds the bit. That way your pulling the chips out as you drill.

I never liked the grease idea myself and that is why I thought about this.
