Title: Egt extension lead ???
Post by: 81 vw pu on August 05, 2010, 02:27:54 am
I just received my egt probe from aircraft spruce and didn't realize the lead wire was so short. What extension wire do I order to reach the dash panel of my 81 caddy? Anybody have a part number for the correct one? I found this one (10-01480  7ft.) on their website, but want to make sure before I order it.  I purchased the following  gauge and probe.

Gauge-10-04147 westach 2c2-19
Probe-10-01478 1/8 npt

The sales rep. said something about the end connections were different, and wanted to know if the guage was certified or not I told him i don' have a clue about the guage as i have not recieved it yet, nor even seen a pic of it. I am just going by what he said I needed for the guage and probe I had already ordered.
