Default EGT , best location?

Question: What is the best location in the exhaust manifold to put a egt thermocouple in?
I have read that it should be in the #3 cylinder because it gets the hottest, how far from the exhaust flange should the bung be welded on?

This is going to be on a b series with a supercharged setup if that makes any difference.
thanks

I'd suggest mounting it half the diameter of the exhaust port from the head flange. (ie: an inch or so).

not effective enough in the dp. it needs to be at the hottest point to be of any use.
