It is an EPI-800 electronic system with a DPU.

Both CHT and EGT. They are thermocouple wire. I used the exact same wire as the equipment came with. I silver soldered the new lead extensions as shown by Bob. I do have a multimeter that will test th ...

I had to increase the length of the thermocouple leads to reach the data processing unit. All six cylinders show abnormally high temps. Could the increase in resistance cause the temperature increase?

What issues would one face with the compatibility of brass and stainless steel. Brass fittings, bolts and such through the firewall.
