Mechancial oil gauges and pyrometers - need location

[John Dickson]

Ok, got my 6-71TIs, got my mechnical oil gauges and pyrometers. Need to know location on engine for oil gauge, and where on exhaust for pyrometers(forward or aft of turbos). Do you guys know the maximum distance you can run the pyrometer leads? Thanks for the help! (Went thru withdrawal when the forum went down - whew!)

There are several places for the op guages just check your manual. The Pyrometer thermocouples always go before the turbo (in between turbo and manifold as close as posible to manifold) There should be a lead suplied with the thermocouple. You can conect to that to run as long as you need to the guage but you must use the factory lead first.
