O/2 Sensor Placement

[0396]

Ok.... I bought a after market O/2 - wide band system to read my air fuel ratio...

Now that I have to weld an O/2 bung... where should I have one welded up at?
Can it be say...about 6-8 inches from where the muffler connects to the headers or???



Any one's figured this out

Thank YOU

The factory puts it on the cat converter. If you have a cat bypass put it there.

ya...figure that was the case.. let me add a bit more.
* 914-6
* current placement is right after the collector - about 6-7 inches before my Monty muffler
* unit is a PLX
* unit register find until I put it under 'load' in 2nd to measure the 0/2 ratio..the system goes into an error mode- just after I see 13 to one.
* I've been advised that it might be 'back pressure ' under load that cause the system to error.

That's the main reason for coming here for 'advice"

Absent an automatic control loop of what good is an oxygen sensor...? And even the wide band ones go out of range with any level of A/F mixture above idle or normal cruise....

That's the purpose of the MAF/IAT, to provide sensing, control, of the A/F mixture when the osygen sensor is out of range.
