[VB] CHT with Dakota gauge

[c.dreike]

Sami,
I have an Innovate wide band MTX-L gage kit with an LM-2 sensor and a 
really long cable.

As for the distributorless electronic ignition, its a lost spark system 
using I believe a Ford ignition pack controlled by the megasquirt EFI 
controller.

I got my EFI system from The Dub Shop.

Cheers,
Chris
