One of the best carb ice detectors is EGT.  Carbureted Lycomings will 

develop small amounts of ice under surprisingly clear conditions.  The first 

symptom if you are cruising fully leaned will be a small drop in EGT, no change in 

power.  If EGT recovers to normal lean cruise temp after a SHORT application 

of carb heat, you had a trace of ice.  This is common on those perfect clear 

mornings.  25 years of flying the same Cessna with the 0-320 E2D engine gave 

lots of familiarity with this.      Paul S. Petersen,  RV6A building, flying
