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.

Quick side note for you data acq guys/gals.

Sensor Connection $35 K-type thermocouple:

Plus $12 Adafruit amplifier:

...makes a damned fine input to your system. I'm using it into my Microsquirt ECU for the street car, and into my data acq system on the race car. It's also being used as a failsafe "cut over" for either altermate maps (street car) or "you're being stuipid light" (race car).

If you must have a gauge, I have one of these, with enclosure, sitting in my toolbox I'd be glad to pass along in exchange for a case of your local IPA:
