O2 Sensor mounting

[00fxd]

I am installing my Hooker side exhaust on my '65 Corvette. I would like to mount my O2 sensor at about 5:o'clock in the 4" tube so that it will be not hanging out there. The collector with this system is outside of the fender. My choices would be on top or down low on the inside. I hear that it should be pointing down so condensation will run off. The sensor has been at about 4:o'clock in my old system for the last 2 years will no ill efects. If it's gotta hang out so be it. What should I do, anyone?

ideally it's at 3:00 (or 9:00 if you prefer!) or above for the condensation deal, but I have had them at 4/5 o'clock without issue. I would think long term having it up higher has to be better.

Thanks camcojb, I have to mount the bungs soon. Anyone else have any input?

I've always read the same, keept in the top half to prevent sensor damage
