<VV> Head Temp Gauge using spark plug

[Rick Norris]

Here's the deal with the AC type gauge and the sender under the plug.
I use this on my race car. It works in that I know where it should read so, 
that tells me if its getting hotter. Its not that far off either from what 
the actual temp in the head is. I have checked it with a laser temp gun.
Just gotta remember its there when you pull the plugs!
