my exhaust is a set of OBX side pipes bolted to a ZZ4 crate motor. I read a FI web site and it mentioned putting to sensor 2-3 inches down from the collector but obviously that won't work! i guess I'll just put in in one of the cylinder tubes?
I di manage to mod the headers to fit the rack and pinion though

I plan on pulling the engine soon so will weld a new bung slightly higher and back a bit further. This will get the sensor closer to the frame.

^^^^ that is where mine is mounted too - I've a couple thousand miles with it in that location, it works fine. That said, mine is parallel with the ground because I'm afraid I'd hook it on something with it pointing down.

It worries me that it might hook on something so I'm going to mount it so it sits just below and parallel with the frame.
