Default Mounting a wideband sensor at an angle??

It says in my wideband commander to mount the sensor at 10 degrees but, unless I'm reading it wrong, it doesn't say which way. Are they supposed to be kicked back tward the tail pipe or kicked tward the motor?

Thanks

The idea is to mount the sensor in such a way that condensation does not build up inside. So you want to mount it with the wire pointing up at about 10 degrees. Just so the tip points down somehow.

its just to keep the moisture off of the sensor. Mount as high on the exaust if you can.


Any ideas on what wire color and the location for the RPM pickup?

Section 5 - Connect RPM Pickup (Tach) Cable
RPM can be recorded and displayed in Software. To enable this, connect the two pin RPM Pickup Cable to the
Wideband Commander Module and connect the exposed wire on the other end of the cable to the switch (non
power) side of the ignition coil, using a supplied Wire "T" Tap or similar device. This will provide a stable RPM
signal without the need for a special Tach adaptor. The software allows the user to select 2 different sensitivity
levels to best suit each application.

It should pick up the negative side of any of the coils.
