Hi JIm I think there is some confisuion here.
The EGT would not work on a common exhaust. The downflow probes would be heated by multiple cylinder. Those probes need a hole in the down pipe ideally just 2 inches from the head. This would be helpful to ID a cylinder that is down on power inflight. The CHT probes can be installed under the spark plugs but I have mine installed in 6 threaded ports under the heads. The heads come with 2 factory ports and you would need to weld in 4 more. With that said I have not seen any difference in my readings on all 6. I would just install 2 in the factory positions or use 6 under the spart plugs. IMO, the only reason to have 6 would be to identify a dead cylinder in flight. IMO installing O2 sensors on each side and a AFR gauge gives almost the same info for leaning inflight. If that is all you want it for then just go the easy route and install the narrow band AFR system.
