Put the bung in BEFORE/up stream of the evac or you
will get a bad reading on the O2 and it should be
mounted so its above the centerline of the tube so
it doesnt collect moisture

I run an evac system and full exhaust! my sensor is right in the x pipe! no issues at all and the plugs read what the wideband is saying. Id imagine with open headers and the sensor right behind the evac nipple could give false readings...

I will guarantee that the readings your getting are
NOT TRUE readings... its seeing vapors from the engine
also ... is it going to be way off ...
I did the O2 stuff for Chrysler for YEARS

Im just saying what mine does not arguing with ya! I drive on the street alot testing and pull plugs all the time! had my SV1 apart SEVERAL times even changing orifice sizes in the main body! my plugs were dead rich when my wideband said it! I have a good clean street tune now and the plugs look great! when im running rich my sensor looks like a rich plug! when im running good the sensor is clean like a plug would be! I set my car up rich before going to the track and drove to a car show and played around some on the street! whenever my SV1 is too rich it stumbles for a hair going from part throttle to getting on it... and yes when I checked them plugs they were way rich (just sayin)

here is one vid from testing on the street! with the way the thing bounces around some not sure how you would say its off one way or the other! I think its a great tool and lets me know what going on"ish" I guess

If you want to measure oxygen, mount them in the fenders!! In front of the tires! Dad

I agree.
The evac may only be a slight error under some conditions, but I don't know how much. And light throttle may be worse than full throttle. Get the best measurement you can.

Mr.P
I'm also interested on the right way to mount the sensor.
Do you have a picture or something to referate to the mounting point.
My car is a dart with 340, doug headers and 3 " exhaust system, should it be down on top of the collector?

Thanks

No I dont have any pics but mount it like I said...
forward of any e-vac and above the horizontal so
it wont collect moistue
