<VV> ADV/thermister adapter / other gauges

[Bill Elliott]

There are some Autometers out there that have a higher range (my Stinger 
had such a setup with an Autometer logic circuit that would 
automatically register whichever head was hotter) but be aware that an 
Autometer thermocouple alone for that gauge cost about the same as a 
complete Westach/Falcon setup. I particularly like the dual gauge which 
shows the relative head temps at a glance.
