< is there a cheaper unit, also any tips on installation would be appretiated.>


I brazed a 19mm nut on the collector a few inches after the Y on the collector and used a Bosh one wire unit from Pep Boys (about $39). Be carefull to cut the hole and install the nut at the correct angle - straight up. My first attempt was angled a little too much towards the tranny.

Read it with a digital voltmeter - I have the voltage listed somewhere (0 to .9 volts)

Can plug it with an old large sparkplug if you want to move the sensor to another car.
Let me know if you need other info
Frank
