Default Where did you run your wideband wire of exhaust

Didn't really know where to put this, hope this is the right sectiom. Anyway, Im about to install my wideband and f bodys have no gromets for ****. Except the one on the right side. So where are people running their wire that goes from the exhaust bung to the the little box. I was thinking of making a hole near the clutch pedal area and just putting my own gromet their. Just looking for some advice. Thanks.

I put mine right in the collector of my long tubes, but if I did it again I'd put it a little more downstream... exhaust is too hot at the collector... prolly better position (in my case) would be in the X-Pipe

My sensor bung is in the "I" section and I ran the wires from the controller up thru the drain plug under the rear drv's side seat up to the center section under the carpet where my flashscan resides in the center console.

Where is the drain plug under the driver side seat? Anyone have a pic from under the car?

Sorry about the mix up. Under the Rear seat, driver's side is a rubber drain plug.

I hate to use this picture but here it is when I pulled my carpet up and fixed my floor.

You can see the plug pretty clearly I think. It has a rust stain in the pocket of the plug just low and left of picture center.

Is it just a rubber plug? How did you seal it once you ran wire through it, or did you?

They are simple rubber plugs in the center of both the front and rear foot wells on both sides of the floor pan.

If you cut a small enough hole in the plug it should be self sealing. If not, use silicone sealant or RTV. A better method would to use a bulkhead plug after drilling a hole through the floor pan. You might check Summit or Jegs for a Russel or Earl's bulkhead fitting if that is what you want to do.

You can tell by my answer that I have not yet run my cable through the plug although I have done it with nitrous lines and wiring to my electric cutout.

I ran the wires up through the shifter boot, under the dash, and then up the A pillar to my A/F gauge. That seems to be the easiest way.
