I also have one in my 67 182. Nice blinkin' lights but I wouldn't do it

I've spent a lot more time installing and maintaining (troubleshooting
and repairing faults where the owner was convinced he/she had a
serious engine problem) "graphic engine monitors" than I have using
an engine monitor to help diagnose a problem.

The only instance I've ever had on the shop floor where a problem was
identified by an engine monitor in-flight was an engine that spit out
the pipe plug in the alternate position for the fuel injector nozzle.

I've installed a bunch of digital TIT and multi-point EGT systems
(with a selector switch), and overall have had good luck with them. A
little bit of common sense and an accurate digital EGT works quite
well.
