Welding O2 Sensor Bung On Headers
Hey guys, I think I've read about this before but I cant find what I'm looking for.
Where is the best place to weld in an O2 sensor bung in a set of headers. Application is an 87 tbi setup out of a pickup, running a 7477 ecm, they are long tube hooker headers, and also it is a single wire O2.
Thanks in advance for any info!

Just make sure it's far enough downstream from the collector that it's reading all 4 cylinders, and not just the 2 from the close side of the collector

Re: Welding O2 Sensor Bung On Headers
I would not start drilling on the actual headers. To me it sounds like a horrible idea. Just get the bung welded on the merge pipe that bolt onto the headers.
Another thing is to upgrade to a heated o2 sensor, it was worth it for my application.

Re: Welding O2 Sensor Bung On Headers
Awsome, thanks for the input guys. I think I'll go ahead and put them just after the collector.
