who here has installed an exhaust temp. guage?

who here has installed an exhaust temp. guage?

I have one. I know that I need to install it in the third exhaust runner. And it needs to be no more than one inch from the exhaust port.

my question is, can I do this myself?

I have cobalt drill bits. Will they be sufficient for drilling in my cast iron manifod?

thanks in advance,

You can do it your self its not too bad. If you have the manifold off i would suggest getting it drilled and tig welded onto the manifold. If its still on the car you could weld it while its on car but it will be a pain in the arse. Depending on what gauge you got you might be able to tap the cast but it would be better to weld it on. As far as the wiring goes its all just basic stuff. Power, ground, and the signal from the probe.
