It was ok. One headlight bezel is cracked, one is good. The grille has a few pieces broke out.

Okay thanks. The one I have is probably as good as that one.

Making a little progress. This stuff takes so much time. The plan is to have it ready friday night...

This part SUCKS

Anyone know where exactly I should have the o2 bung welded into one of these????

I thought the placement was always like within 2-3" of the collector

Yeah thats how my camaro headers are, but im also asking like where to put it so its not in the way of the spring or shackle or driveshaft.

Probaby have to do drivers header on the inside closest to trans.

ah.

not a huge help than,
just for an FYI, the bung on my factory manifolds, is welded before the collector, drivers side. basically pointing towards the headlight.

You may have to set them in place and then see where you'll have the clearance at. Those O2 sensors with their harnesses stick out a couple of inches. You may end up pointing it towards the middle of the truck.

Maybe mock the headers up and see. Those weld in bungs are only like 10 bucks from jegs.

YESSSS!

General rule of thumb, at least for wideband O2's, is 36" downstream. Either go into the side of the collector or right after it in the pipe.

Running yet? You have 3 more days.

Not wideband.

I'll just mock them up and probably put it in the collector of the drivers header. I can pick up an o2 bung locally, don't have time for Jegs.

No obviously. I have Friday off and Nick has been helping out with the wiring. He said he might take Friday off as well. If it gets done, it will be close.

I can't remember the direction mine points, but it's in the pipe right after the collector. Planning to go to a heated sensor if I ever get back to the thing.

 

[andyblack]

I vote for in the driver's side collector. That way it clears the starter and everything.

Sounds like a winner.
