I removed the EGR valve and used the hole into the manifold to
mount the O2 sensor. I built a fake plate and welded in the bung over the
existing hole and then ran the O2 sensor into it. I used a plugged up spark plug
anti fouler to plug the line back into the manifold
For the temp sensors I used on out of a mid 80's straight 6 and
replaced the thermo time switch as the threads were the same. I set the
parameters by sticking it in boiling water than noting the conductivity as the
water cooled.
I think the TPS is a piece of genius on my part! (I'm not
egotistical at all). The throttle is burried in the center of the manifold and
is basically unreachable so I mounted a Volvo TPS on a plate which could be
mounted on the manifold studs. Then I cut a piece of bolt to fit into the TPS,
one end chamfered to fit the cut out and glued it in. in the other end I cut a
hole and cleaned it so it was really smooth. Them after much trial and error and
sticking my tongue out at the correct angle I welded a ball off a donor
accelerator rod onto the rod that runs along the side of the air induction unit
(CIS unit). Then I cut a rod to length and put the rod through the hole in the
TPS spindle and clipped it to the ball welded on the accelerator rod. I put
antisieze on the rod so it slipped well. I will just have to lubricate it once a
month
The Intake air temp sensor (IAT sernsor) was fitted into the existing air filter
by drilling a 5/8th hole with a hole sawand fitting a rubber grommet and then
screwing the sensor into the grommet, a very nice fit.
