Tim,
I have an Autometer sensor and gauge. Narrowband. It reads significantly 
leaner than reality under most circumstances. I bought the setup in order to 
be able to tell how far off my needles are at rpms other than idle. It 
really does not accomplish this. The bung is welded into the exhaust ppe 
about 8" past the end of the collector. Too far downstream? I wasn't anxious 
to make holes in my nice new header at the time. My next header won't be so 
lucky.
