I did it..... The Pyro probe is in my exhaust manifold. I ended up having to drop one end of the drive line and tie wrapped it to the frame to get it out of the way. All said and about an hour later the needle on my gauge was moving.

Thanks for the pep talk.

I ended up just drilling a tappen the drivers side manifold...took me 10 min to do....shoulda done it in the first place
My probe is in the driver side up pipe. Piece of cake and still working like a champ. Drill and tap, not a clamp on.

Mine is in the driver side ehaust manifold. Drilled and tapped. The metal looked to be about 1/4 inch thick to 3/8. Nice and tight, should last me a life time.
