Based on a similar cat converter installed on my 84, the plugged O2 sensor hole faces to the left of the vehicle. In addition, on my converter, there is no shield, but there are raised stamped arrows and text indicating the exhaust flow. I guess they don't do that on different brands of converters. Hope this helps. Jim Thompson oldvolkshome@earthlink.net jim@karmannghia.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com *********************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "R. E.
