In my early aviation days, I flew a C421 across the Sierra Nevada's every night round trip from Oakland to Phoenix. The best way to set the mixture at top of climb was to lean until the entire exhaust system glowed cherry red. It was visible thru the cooling louvers on the top of the cowling. You could see every weld, every clamp, every gasket, every oily (cool) spot on the tubing.
Looked a lot like that pic.
