My questions are:
A. Due to the crazy airframe, it is not uncommon to pull the engine at
annual inspection time. What would be the best connector to use? Could
I
use a D-sub? The connection to the D180 is a 25 pin D-sub.
B. For temperature accuracy purposes, would it be better to position
the
connector forward or aft of the firewall? The most convienient would be
forward.
Thanks, in advance.

The 25 pin d-sub is a good choice. Use the ones with the
crimped pins, since soldering of thermocouple wires is not recommended.
You can use these forward of the firewall with very little
degradation of
accuracy. The important thing with using a nonthermocouple material
connector is that both sides of the connector should be at the same
temperature, otherwise greater error will be introduced.
