I just happened to have an extra chillin' in my tool box

It can only go on one way, the piece in the middle of the sensor will only rotate about 90 degrees, its got an internal stop. The plug points off the front of the throttle body.

Great looking port job!

PS - Did you use loctite on the screws going into the shaft holding the blade on? Its always good to throw some good ole' blue loctite on there. It definatly wont make them fall out EASIER lol

OHHH i think its kinda like the little bearing retainer ring sorta thing. I think the U side faces the bearing. Probably just functions as a spacer, and thus doesnt really matter which way it goes.
