After watching our left engine CHT indicator bounce around the other day, I
decided to pull the CHT probe to look it over. It's ancient, and partially melted/corroded. So I want to replace it. Here's the problem... It's not a new style bayonet type two wire probe. It's an old AC (as in AC Delco) single wire screw in RTD (resistance type device). It looks like a little spark plug on the connector end and a short thermocouple on the cylinder end. It looks similar to the Cessna type probe listed in Aircraft Spruce, but that sucker is $140 and I don't even know if it would work with our gauge. (original 1966 Piper single indicator) Does anybody in the group have a Lycoming IO-540 parts manual handy? I need to find the current day replacement part number and manufacturer for this little gem so I can hunt one down. Thanks in advance!!! Jim Burns |
