My plenum has a insert for a M14x1.5 thread and most air temp sensors are that size but I can not find any air temperature gauges with that size sensor.
What are other people using for the intake temperature?

Thanks

Air temp sensors come in all shapes and sizes.

But more importantly, how are you intending to view temperature ? Any gauge, will require a sensor suitable for that gauge.

If you're using the sensor for an ecu, then you should be able to calibrate the input to suit almost most sensors.

Marelli ATS04 is M14x1.5 and a thermistor type sensor ( old Cossie )

But you'll need a suitable means to use it.

Well this is the thing I can't find a set sensor and gauge with this size sensor.
My ecu does not have air sensor option.I can't see why a ignition only ecu would with a carburetor.

I have found this but can't find a kit like this with a m14 sensor.

And what ecu is it ?

air temp is an important parameter for both fueling and ignition timing. So it would make sense of any ecu to make use of it.

And if there is a hole already there, or adapter, just change the adapter ?

Or drill/tap it out to 3/8" NPT to suit that gauge

The GM sensor they will be using and the ATS04 will have similar scalings, but they are not quite the same. But not massively different

you could go for this style, 1/8" NPT, and use or make an adapter from M14.

Loads of options really.

Because you want it to pull timing if the inlet temps get astronomically hot, otherwise it's det territory

I'm using a canems ecu ignition only.
