Question WB O2 bung placement

LC-1 is here. Houston downpipe is off. Going to have the bung welded on. Trying to determine where to get it placed.

The bottom of the pipe doesn't have much length at/after the elbow. So I'm trying to determine where the bung should be placed. Right now, I'm thinking right at the bend of the elbow, before where the test pipe or cat joins the downpipe joins up. Definitely on the left (driver's) side.

Does this sound correct?

Any pics of installations?

I have mine at the bend of the downpipe (just before the joint at about the 3 o'clock position (towards the center of the car away from the frame rail).

Mine LC1 is on its way! Thinking I would put it after the DP, and facing 6 o'clock so I and lay down next to car and put it in/out easier, and a little further from the heat source. Why would you want it facing the drivers side? Also, I hear we should angle the bung up so the water doesn't flow into the sensor.

Toward the inside (i.e. transmission side), correct?

So would this not be the "9 o'clock" position? Since the driver's side is the "left", I guess I think of "clock" positions looking from the driver's seat.

The lead is not that flexible. If you want it to scrape the pavement, or be snared be road debris, have at it.

Guess I'll find out when it get's to my doorstep. Are you planning on permanently wiring the lead to the sensor location? I heard the sensor shouldn't be installed permanently (shorter life), so I wasn't thinking of the sensor wire being permanently routed either.

The sensor is not permanently installed. You have a bung welded on so the sensor can be removed. The instructions will tell you not to put it lower than 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock because of all the moisture in the pipe. If you put it at 6 o'clock it will be ruined by water from the exhaust.
I put mine just before the test pipe at the 10 o'clock position on the driver's side. The wire then goes up over the trans to the back of the motor. My LC1 is then zip tied to the top of the harness and the wires go thru the hole in the firewall. Some guys have cut holes in the trans shroud and put the LC1 unit in the car, under the console.

I delved into the box last night, and read the 'quick start' stuff looking for the 10-and-2 reference. Then I realized that the instructions were on the CD. Found the CD, and...its damaged. *sigh* Now I need to get ahold of one of those. Regardless, I think I'll shoot for the 10 o'clock position near the lower curve of the Houston pipe, before the test pipe.
