Hi Rick!
There is no 'proper' temp for EGT. Even slight differences in
orientation around the exhause stack or down it;s length will cause the
readings to change. What you're looking for is a relative change as you
lean, not a specific 'goal'.
Closer to the flange the hotter the reading will be, and of course the
further away the cooler. However, try and keep the probes in the same
spot for each header, as best you can. You also want to orient the
probes so that they don't interfere with anything else running close
.... like the cowl or oil/fuel / tubing etc.

The main thing is to have them all at the same distance since EGTs are
not an absolute number like CHT. You may find that the front right
tube determines the maximum if all are horizontal when installed. But
even
that depends on your exhaust system.
My recollection of mine is 1-4 inches but that is not verified. I put
mine
as far from the flange as I could and the most distant was maybe 2-2.5
inches
before a bend in the exhaust would cause orientation issues.

What is the preferred installation location for the EGT probes on a
Lycoming O-360 engine? How far down from the exhaust attachment yields
the proper temp? It's a RV-6A if that matters. Tnx.

Or the celebrity Planter's Mixed Nuts. I know what you are going
through Patrick. Panel wiring can DRIVE you NUTS!
Mike H 9A/8A Wiring almost completed, instruments installed, NUTS! I
forgot to secure the nut.

And, as the Germans learned at Bastogne, "Nuts" can be very confusing.

Ok, now that the serious discussion has gone on for a while I can
post this without fear of interfering with the flow of information.
In regards to nut nomenclature, there is one nut that generally gets
overlooked even though it is a very important one. This is the nut that
gets attached to the controls of an RV and, in general terms, is
referred to as an =93RV nut.=94 It=92s function is to hold an entire RV
project together; sometimes more than one project is secured by a single
nut. The RV nut is often qualified by model. Thus, we have the =93RV-3
nut=94 or the =93Rocket nut=94. My spouse is currently in possession of
a slightly worn and cracked RV-6A nut. These nuts are also often
denoted further as belonging to some functional category, hence the
=93Formation nut=94 or the =93Aerobatic nut=94. The nomenclature can
easily and naturally be combined to refer to nuts that serve several
purposes, such as the =93RV building nut=94 or the =93RV-8 racing
nut=94. Notice that even though these nuts are widely available there
is very little standardization and any group of nuts you find will often
consist of several types mixed together. Care must be used in selecting
the nuts you keep around; not all types work well together. Hopefully,
however, you won=92t have to look very far to find the right nut for
your very own RV project.
