Default Carb temp sensor

I have a Precision Airmotive Carb for my O-320. Is this (see photo) the correct location for my carb temp sensor?

Can't look at the picture, get all kinds of spam, spyware, popup and virus warnings when I try and look at a imageshack hosted image.....

Please use something other than imageshack to host these pics....

There is a small sloted plug that you remove and that is where the sensor goes. you might have to heat the carb up with a heat gon to get it to come out. (be careful if there has been fuel in there)

Phil,

Before you go to the trouble of installing the sensor, check out this thread:
