c-182 carb temp gauge

[R.T.]

I was wondering if someone could give some insight into the various options
for a carb temp guage for my 67 skylane with a Continental 0-470.

I also have a '67 and it has the guage. It looks like it's factory original - 2" analog indicator on the far right
side of the panel, next to the factory original EGT. I agree with the posters in the other thread - carb heat
does cause rough running in this big engine, due to the enriched mixture. The nice thing about the carb
temp guage is you don't have to go full on with the carb heat, you can just give it a small tweak, to bring
the temp up above the yellow range. I don't know if there's an aftermarket version available. You might
check with the salvage places to see if there's an original available.
