Check again for EGT and cylinder head temperature sensors for ultralight aircraft, on Aircraft Spruce and Specialty and on Wicks Aircraft Supply. Seems to me, they've had combined units sharing one gauge for a lot less money than noted above.

I have read that some have seen 2400F when the car starts to backfire but I think the noise would be a clue to back off.

...just thought someone might find this useful. If there are better alternatives in the automotive world, I'd like to find out about them.
