Re: FITECH EFI 600 Basic and Command center intall with pics, factory tank

I do not plan on using vacuum advance. I believe the fitech goes up pretty high in its advance set up. I did not install it 10 deg above center. I have done several several O2 sensors on my rides and several others and never had any trouble at the 90 angle. This one may be the one that proves me wrong but only time will tell. If you look close I have other O2 bungs there already. They were just to long to use

The reason they want 10° is to keep moisture from collecting (sitting) on the sensor.
It can be straight up and from the top of the tube and it'll still work as well as 10°

No concerns here, I was just pointing out it can be mounted any which you want it's just for the moisture they recommend 10°

And it won't be the first time I lied to anyone......on purpose

I know and thank you for pointing it out but I knew it when I installed. I read the instructions 3 times lol. One thing I do not do is drive it short distances and shut it down. This may help in keeping them dry. If it does go bad I will cut the pipe and rotate it. No biggy.
