good afternoon all after reading all the posts and considering what Craig said about the switch not living very long, and someone about drilling the head ugh! I decided to go a similar route to what Steve suggested.

Forum: Corvair Center Forum

I'm assuming cylinder head temp. not sure it needs to be real accurate, just needs to let engine warm up then come on. 200 250 degrees maybe.
