I liked using an accurate EGT for leaning. It makes me happy.
Whatever makes you happy! ;)
Mixture distribution on C-series is crude at best. The spread between cylinders makes digital readout moot, IMHO. Note too that 50 degrees rich of peak at high power levels is the most dangerous as far as cylinder damage and preignition/detonation goes. Continental recommends no leaning below 5000' (density altitude). That way, you're forced out of the high-power operations window and nothing you can do will damage the engine.
Note that with a Stromberg, you must re-adjust the mixture every time you change the throttle setting.
