just wondering, where did you locate the probe?  

The later model Mooneys with the electric OAT gauge put the probe in an access plate in the left wing just outside the fuel tank. I think it is the same bay as the outboard fuel sender.

If you ever drill acrylic windows make damn sure you know how to grind the drill bit properly before you drill !! If you don't you WILL ruin the window.

under the wing, forward and inboard of the fuel tank?  In the first access panel for the push rod?

My 78J had it on the right side and the gauge is on the right side as well.

Generally people move the temp probes under the wing maybe 8-12 inches back from the leading edge and out a couple feet from the root.  There are some convenient inspection plates.  There’s also a factory location further out that was used on later models.  Either way, out of the sun and away from the engine and prop wash is good.
