ive got a wideband ive decided to install in my vortech marauder. this way i can finally see how dialed in the current program is....my question is ....is there a leaner bank in the 4v engines....? id like to install the wideband in that bank. i know on the windsors (351) the leanest bank is bank 2. #7 cyl runs the leanest due to the intake design. are the 4 cam engines similar in this manner? thanks! paul d.

Why are you using a reichard?
How do the belts hold up?
I am guessing the left bank.

i run a reichard on all my vortechs....especially on a 6 rib setup!!!!!!!! belt has been fine thus far...but the car has not really been pushed to its full potential yet......

When my fuel pumps were going bad it would throw a CEL left bank lean.

that is interesting....that could be because the left bank is on the opposite side of the fuel feed. that bank would be likely to see less feed if pumps are weak....

Thats what I was thinking, but Ican't remember if the intake sprays in the intake and if the intake crosses over.
My Marauder is at Dennis getting a new motor.

What brand Wideband?
Ive found NGK is the best.
Literally a 2 wire hookup
