We have determined the energy of the J(pi) = 1/2(+), T = 3/2 resonance in 32S(p,p) to be E(p) = 3374.7+/-0.8 keV. This disagrees with the previously accepted value of E(p) = 3370+/-1 keV by Abbondanno et al. [Nuovo Cimento 70A, 391 (1970)] and solves a problem raised by recent observations of unexpected deviations from the isobaric multiplet mass equation. This resonance is also important in calibrating the beta-delayed proton spectra from 33Ar and 32Ar, and our findings may modify previous conclusions.
