Hello all-

I'm starting to populate our instrument panel & need some

suggestions on

on gauging.

We'll be flying a glass cockpit for the primary instrumentation --

it

will be no problem to configure the various displays for whatever

normal

operating range

is for any given sensor.  We'll also be flying Tracy's engine

monitor,

so that is covered.

However -- I am also going to be installing regular steam gauges for

the

basics in the right seat.  Here's my problem -- I don't know the

normal

operating

temps / pressures on the 13bT2 so as to pick the proper gauges:

    Oil Temp
    Oil Pressure
    Coolant Temp
    Coolant Pressure

Also -- anyone have a good source for these gauges, and/or do's and

don'ts?  I found an aviation outfit selling gauges + sensors for ~$40
each.

Thanks,

Mark & Mark

I personally like Summit Racing at www.summitracing.com.  Service is
really good with a good selection of HotRod parts.  I like Autometer
gauges and will be installing their fuel/air ratio meter in my Mustang
soon.
