Thanks in advance Dion .

Needs to be in the very hot part of the exhaust preferably a little after the headers, which way up is immaterial. Hope you got your oil/water prob
sorted.

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

The lambda sensor must be mounted above the horizontal.
This is especially true of wide band sensors.
The ideal position is in the top of the tube as close as possible to the manifold.
The one position it should never be is in the bottom of the exhaust.
Water which is a natural component of combustion will kill it if you do.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

Just after the exhaust collector, unless you are fitting one to each cylinder!!!

If you are using a 4-2-1 manifold which means the collector is a long way from the head face, would this cause a problem with narrow band sensor? Im
talking about a side exit exhaust system as well which mostly external. I would guess you just need to ensure everything i up to temp before taking
readings for eg an AFR meter.
