Yep, just get a set from a Navajo, if you can find them. I haven't had much
luck yet. Wentworth keeps telling me that they expect something to come
their way from the hurricane damaged planes.

Yep, "should"

That's our winter project.

Do you have an engine monitor? Which one? I haven't studied them too much
but am interested.

There's been lots of discussion about engine monitors already but on my
Aztec I have a GEM. (I'd hate to support JPI so it was a fairly simple
decision.) I have not gotten it approved as primary (except for outside
temperature) so I still have the old (next to useless) indicators too.

It's a wonderful tool. I'm trying to debug an intermittant problem in
one of my engines right now. It would be almost hopeless without the
monitor.
