Hi Darick,
Why not call the manufacturer of your CHT for their recommendations
(and a source, if necessary)?

Okay fellows, something different.
I'm installing (with the oversight of my A&P) an CHT gauge and need
wire to connect the gage to the probes. Aircraft Spruce sells "Falcon
EGE" (engine gage extension) wire and they can't tell me if it's the
correct thing to use! I couldn't find any tech info on their site and
nothing under Falcon. It's my understanding the wire connecting the
probe to the readout instrument is sensitive to temperature and that
special wire construction optimized for this application would be the
best bet.
And while I'm asking, what's the best type of wire to use for hooking
up instruments? Shielded, unshielded, tefzel, shielded tefzel,
etc. Am I asking too much for a generalized answer? Aircraft spruce
offers many choices without a definite guideline for making the
correct choice.
