 |
|
Looking at shouting myself a wide band gauge, Aem or Inovate Mtx-l for a fairly new build 1776 in my early bay.I am running a vintage speed exhaust which has a bung at each side for a sensor, would it be better to put in the tailpipe side or the otherside? Ps I have removed that lovely after market distrbutor and am using instead a ci early 36 hp distrbutor, tried a 019 but I feel the vac can seems to make it run a little bit nicer
Thanks Ross

I would too. Just make sure the sensor clears the apron or anything else that might be in the way before welding in a bung.

I'd rather have the AEM over another Innovate.
Also, means you don't need the expensive harness extension you need for the innovate. |
I’m not trying to thread jack but why don’t you need the expensive extension for the AEM? Does it already come with enough wire? I’ve been looking at both and could never find info about how much wire is included with the AEM or what you’d need to extend it so I’ve had the innovate in my cart for a couple days.. |

Thanks for the reply guys, pulled the trigger and ordered an Aem dash mounted unit (30-0300 ), will wait till it arrives and try and fit sensor into tailpipe , not a lot of room with towbar in there ( see photo). With the AFR bungs in each side of the muffler Vintage Speeds intention must have been to allow a sensor to be put in one side to do the 1 & 2 then move it to the other side to do the 3 & 4 cylinders Ta Ross
