Not sure what TIG machine you are using but mine actually came with a dual output regulator when I bought it 3-4 years ago. I didn't notice it until I really looked at it one day.

I have a fairly new Lincoln Precision Tig 225. It's less than a yr old. I'll have to look at the reg and see if it has another outlet. Thanks

De nada senor.

That PT225 is a nice machine, you'll really enjoy it.

Great write up! Is there an ideal orientation of the sensor, such as at 12 o'clock, 10 o'clock, etc.?

Thanks for this demonstration. I will be doing this and I am wonder where to source 316 bungs (are all O2 sensors 18x1.5 size?). I've seen some stainless ones, but they either say 304 or don't say what grade of stainless. Any good links?

Good write up. I'm planning to have a WB set-up installed before I change carbs.

Hopefully installing the bungs in the SS elbows of my IMCO Powerflows won't be a problem in regards to wetting the sensor.

I've done the 2 hammer trick many times to rpr leaking stamped valve covers/oil pans. Works well.
One word of caution; make sure you have eye protection before you strike 2 hammer faces together.

It's happened to a friend. He had to have shrapnel surgically removed from his forearm.
