In the air box or as close to the trumpets as possible if not using an airbox.

on atmo engines they are not really nec, the air temp correction factor is quite small, i ran for years without one until i went turbo.

i didnt actually richard did but its right! in the airbox or back plate is fine they dont need to be mounted directly in the air stream

Just mount it off the inner wing so that its near the trumpets. The air you suck in comes from the engine bay so you only need to measure that temp.
