Thanks for all the info on the sensors.  The two that cannot be measured
are switches.  I went to Tracy's sight and looked in the EM2 manual he
has on line and found stuff at egauges.com.  The only one I did not see
Tracy call out was water temp.  Does anyone have a recommendation?  I
will probably try one of the Mazda senders for this experiment but will
use the ones Tracy recommends for flight.

I use the Mazda supplied sensor for the coolant temp at the pump outlet.  It
works fine with the EM2, you just have to do the calibration.  Even for the
channels where I used the same sensors as Tracy, I found I had to adjust the
calibration data to get good readings.  I used ice water/hot water; or hand
held pyrometer aimed at spots of flat black paint to calibrate all air and
liquid temp channels.

BTW Al, how come your engine is out of the airplane?
