    Quad EGTs are still pretty spendy. A set of twin analog aircraft units would be pretty cheap...could do 1,2 cyls for an inner/outer, and to be on separate coils.

        Yes you are correct, I am just getting old.

                        Or, for FREE!!!, a person can just learn how to read spark plugs to get the jetting correct & LEARN something. Too many people have no TRUE mechanical skill today because of reliance on computers. And that is a FACT!!
