Question Name the instrument Quiz

OK,

Trying to figure this piece of avionics/instrumentation out. Anyone know what this is? Sits to the right of a standard six-pack in the configuration this picture was taken from. Thanks in advance for the help and insight!

Well, your picture is small and fuzzy, but it looks to me like a fuel flow monitor built by a company in California that later went out of business. Gene Plazak of DMA took it over and the one in my panel has been working great for quite a number of years.
If that's not what it is, next in line can guess.

Default Looks like...

a CHT EGT instrument from EI. I can't read any of the lettering / nomenclature. Can you tell us what lettering is on the instrument face??

Default Fuzzy

Sorry 'bout the fuzzy image. It was the best I had. Figured you all would be able to sleuth this mystery for me.

Looking at buying a -6 in the very near future (month or two) and saw this in one of the pics.

Thanks for the quick response. I absolutely love this forum and its combined brain-trust. Can't wait to be an owner. Some day when my boys grow older, I'll become a builder, but I've got to play dad in the mean time, or until one of them says, "Dad, let's build an airplane."

Yup, I think that's a DMA fuel monitor:



I thought it looked like something from my old Grumman days!

cheers,
