Is a cylinder head temp sensor needed on a carburated car? It seems it is just for the "computer" on an FI car, but I need to clarify.

Note that the stock CHT sensor is not the same type as those used by the CHT gauges. It's also in an area of the head that changes fairly slowly. It's not a good data source for telling you much of anything about the engine.
Use the ring-type thermocouple around the spark plug which is the standard way to get CHT readings. --DD |
