[Fot] Exhaust gas temp probe location

[Mike Munson]

I had inconsistent readings when I had mine 6 inches from the flange. Sam
Halkias told me to move them 6 inches from the valve and that corrected my
problems. I think I am going to try a wide band O2 sensor this year to get
another picture of what my mixture is like.
