Replacements for fuel quantity, cyllinder head temp, oil pressure and temp gauges

Are there any modern alternatives to the 1940s automobile-style rectangular cluster housing the fuel quantity, cyllinder head temp, and oil pressure and temp gauges?

Thanks.

Looking forward to meeting 337 owners at Sun 'n Fun and the OKC 337 Fly-in!

Best,

GJ Humphrey

Interesting you should ask

Go to the home page of this website, select the Technical Data Page from the menu (down the left hand side) and go to the bottom of the Technical Data page. You will see an installation for replacement of all these gages on a 337B. I'm sure Mitchell instruments would be willing to work with you to arrange a similiar mof for your aircraft. You will need to get a field approval before installing it.

I think the current count of these modifications is up to about 20 right now. I know of at least two more from users of this board. You will probably meet them at OKC. You may even be able to see an installation.

We will be at OKC too, but, alas, the Skymaster will remain in Richmond. The airlines beat the flying cost significantly.

Fuel quantity, cyl head temp, oil temp and pressure gauge replacement

Thanks, Jenny.

Does anyone have a photo of a C337 panel retrofitted with the Mitchell instruments as replacements for the original C337 rectangular cluster of fuel quantity, cyllinder head temp and oil pressure and oil temp gauges?

Thanks.

GJ,

Here are some other thoughts on replacing those gages - although these are "approved", I'm not sure the 337 in necessarily included.

The JPI 711 can replace the factory CHT, TIT and Oil Temp. This info is hard to locate on their website - but you can find it in “Downloads” in the 700/711/800 manual pdf. www.jpinstruments.com

Electronics International (www.buy-ei.com) has a number of primary instrument replacements. RPM, MAP, CHT, EGT, Oil Press & Temp, Volt/Amps, TIT

Shadin's Digiflo can be used to replace the stock fuel flow gage.

CPA has recently suggested looking at www.aerospacelogic.com as a source for replacement guages in the latest news letters. They look great.
