Thermo couplers / will this work?

Amprobe TMD-51 Thermometer K/J-Type with Memory https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004W73446/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8zPmxbRWSTXP8

If I want to measure say intake (air box) temps will this suffice? One probe at the front and one further back.

Not while driving more for product testing, or air flow changes, etc
