My Stinger has an Autometer head temp guage in it.
Uses a pickup from each head... has a switch to check each head individually, OR.... a setting that
automatically shows the higher temp. Works great!
When I ran at VIR a couple of years ago (last time the poor car has seen action... really deserves
somebody that will use it more!) I threw the belt several times (turns out we had a balancer coming
apart) and questioned the accuracy as it looked and smelled a lot hotter than the gauge was
showing. Rob Fike checked it with his non-contact thermometer and showed the gauge to be
extremely accurate.
