Also need to check the continuity of the wire from the rear probe to the panel. It's entirely possible it's chafing the way that cyl temp jumps around.

Going forward with this thought, has anyone tested the continuity of the wire from the rear engine to the panel?

Did they re-use the harness from the old GEM or lay in a new harness?

Hi Bruce,

Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure about members in AZ, but perhaps you can reach out to local A&P's and see if anybody is working on a Skymaster?
