I'm converting an olds to port EFI by using the manifold from a 77
caddilac that had an olds engine and an analog injection system.  I'm
going to try and use an '88 or so camaro TPI controller.  I guess this
means I'd be allright if I just mounted the O2 sensor where the EGR
valve should go?  That looks a lot simpler than removing an exhaust
manifold and tapping it or trying to mount the sensor in the exhaust
pipes somewhere.  I'm gonna ditch the EGR valve anyway, it's not
required on the car so I don't want to fool with it.

Thanks
