Pyro/thermocoupler questions

[MikesDeuce]

Fellow SS,

i have a quick question about pyro/thermocoupler arrangements...



ive currently obtained a borrowed southwire multimeter and thermocoupler from work... I want to get a baseline of my egt’s...

Where and how do I mount it? This will be temporary just to get measurements....until I get a pyro.


thank you for your help in advance as today/tonight is the only day I can work on it because weekend at inlaws!!!

Im otw home now and can’t wait to begin work!!!

Can't help with your exact question, not sure there's a prexisting locale for such an animal to be used on the deuce, and I know that you want to "get 'er done" with what you've got on hand, but I will say from experience that it is so easy to just poke a hole in the exhaust manifold, tap it, screw in a pyro, and have it done (IIRC, I had the truck running throughtout the boring/tapping operation so the chips would just get blown back out the hole by exhaust pressure). On the advice of others here, I went with a Hewitt Industries pyro;

Check out Cranetruck's manifold placement of his boost/pyro gauge probes in post #9 here;

I drilled the hole for mine in the same place Cranetruck's rear probe is placed (I only installed one)

This is where I installed mine. On the exhaust manifold just above the turbo. I chose to run a dual set up.

Those are the perfect spots to install the pyrometer.
