On vehicles, which do not have an oxygen sensor, the sensor must be placed 3" down stream of the exhaust manifold flange. The installation of the kit requires the removal of the following components that are located within the engine compartment: Air cleaner assembly with heat stove, idle solenoid vacuum line, transmission controlied spark solenoid, distributor CTO vacuum control, carburetor/throttle body, fuel pump, ECM, oxygen sensor, air injection system (air tubes plugged), and other related vacuum valves and lines. = This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Throttle Body Fuel Injection Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the device manufacturer.
