Hi, Paul....I was hoping you could tell me all the engine paramaters I should monitor on a 13B
aircraft installation. The manufacturer of the engine monitor I want to buy needs to know
everything I wish to monitor so he can tailor the unit to my application.
    I assumed oil temp and pressure, water temp and pressure, cylinder head temp (I assume I can
just use two spark plug conductors)?  Also RPM of course. EGT (one or two)?  Anything else you can
think of would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your reply. Paul Conner, Mobile, AL

This is what we would like to know.

Temp into the rad
Temp out of the rad
Oil pressure.
Temp into the oil cooler
Temp out of the oil cooler
Cooling system pressure out of the pump and into the block.
Cooling system pressure out of the block.
Cooling system pressure out of the rad and into the pump.

RPM
Intake manifold pressure
Two EGT's.
Two cyl head temps at base of the spark plugs.

Fuel air ratio with O2 sensor
Fuel flow GPH
Fuel totalizer
MPG with GPS ground speed input.
Ignition advance.
Knock sensor.
Water pump flow in GPH

Did I miss anything?
