it actually has 2 connections. One is at the thermocouple, which is all hte way in the engine bay. The second one is preset for ambient tempreture, so you can't take it off at all. All pyrometers work that way.

aight, gonna go try connecting the copper wire. hope it'll work.

blah, everything much simpler. one of the wires at the connections broke off, didnt notice it last night. Cheap gauge, you got that right

oh well, now where is my soldering gun...

I'm assuming by pyrometer you're referring to an EGT gauge?

All EGT's most certainly do not have to be ambient temperature referenced...in fact none of the half dozen or so different brands I've used have been.
