AFR: Pictures of Bung Placement Please

[jmiller]

Pretty much vertical.

Hi JMiller,

   What transmission do you have in your car? I like that the fill plug is on the d/s.

  Thanks,

If I remember correctly, my AEM AFR gauge had a prescribed installation angle... but I forget and can't find the directions.

I'm looking at products but none of them give the length of the connecting cable.  What length is required to get the gauge connected in the car?  Are there any issues I should be aware of?

[Dudeland]

You will have tons of length.  You need about 3 feet, you are given about 6,

Hi Bob, That's a standard 4-speed.  I can't tell you what year, only that it's not original.

Thanks Jeff! Man, I guess it's been a while since I had a 4speed.

    I'm in Paul's situation now, trying figure out how to weasel the sensor into the downpipe of a supersprint exhaust, so thanks to all who posted pics!

min. 10 deg angle from horizontal plane. Says my AEM manual.

Meaning on the side of the D/pipe but slightly elevated from horizontal?  That would make sense for any condensation forming on the sensor, I guess.  Also, easier to re&re, as opposed to vertical, on top of the D/pipe.

After killing two sensors after only 18 months each,

I have mine angled slightly above <edit> horizontal, and use 2 3x3" sheets of .120" copper splayed out back- to- back as a heat sink,

as I'm only 10" or so after the collector.  The copper keeps the sensors alive- if they

have to heat more to compensate, it doesn't seem to harm them.

 

But this is race car, so things get pretty warm in the exhaust department.

 

If you want a car that kills sensors, try an E30.  Those things spit so much water in the warmup cycle, I worry about the head gasket...

Do you mean horizontical?

Yes. The connector end is higher than sensors sensing point.

[TobyB]

oops yes, horizonticalificated...

What header is that?  Did you get it with the bung installed or add it yourself later?

Stock downpipe with a bung added later.
