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.

I just put mine in through the spark plug hole in the tin (cylinder 3, if no one has mentioned it yet) and I am just careful when installing new plugs. Do it the right way if you have the engine out though.

If you didn't put a grommet over the TC wire where it meets the tin it could chafe thru and then you'd likely be reading temperature of the tin itself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
