Bob:
It's been awhile since I put mine together and, in my case, the "Y" was pre-drilled to accept the probes, but as I recall, the probes do reach all the way across the exhaust opening. Also, I did nothing to seal around the probes and there does not appear to be any significant exhaust leakage there. In any event, the system has always performed as advertised with this installation.

I've had my head under the cowl trying to picture it and from what everyone has said it does make sense, although the smallest probe I can find has a 1" tip and I imagine that would pretty much touch the bottom of the manifold. Also I would think that some manifold sealer goop of some sort would be a good idea around the hole?

Sorry if someone beat me to the answer, but picture a Y The holes are in the two upper arms of the Y. The probe goes through a hole in the hoseclamp, into the hole in the Y and the clamp is tightened arould that arm of the Y. Same thing on the other upper arm of the Y pipe. Hope that makes sence. If you saw it it would be obvious immediatly. Jim Chuk 4 building MN

Yes, drilling the holes is easy. I can't picture the clamp,
though. How'd you do that?
