Hi Billy,

Did you set up for the air/fuel gauge that WW suggested in his video?

Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMIGh_Hr9-o&feature=emb_logo

I was under the impression that O2 sensors wouldn't tolerate lead in the fuel. Was I wrong? Does this one last?

Thanks,

Wes

Yes same one.. if you read instructions that come with the gauge it recommends an additional fitting that goes into the bong welded to the exhaust pipe. It is for egt’s over 950 deg F. I think the one failing are not using the extension.

Hey Billy,

That's absolutely awesome!!! Won't be long now.

One word of caution. You are going to have some serious empty nest syndrome. You may want to start therapy now.

Looking Good,

Wes
