[V8] exhaust soot

[Michael Larosa Jr]

ummm, actually where the 02 sensor is located your 2 exhaust headers
come together then spread out again...

black soot could be the head temp sensor...  these are about 20-30 bucks..

It's located underneath the passenger side distributor...


soot out one side is strange....


I don't know if the dual pipes are seperated as they go thru the mufflers...


hhhmmmm,  perhaps on cat or muffler section is clogged ?  the right side perhaps ?

Mike,

It is my belief that the right tail pipe corespondes to left head and vise versa. Now, our v8s use only one o2 sensor. If bad, wouldnt both sides exhibit a soot problem? So my question is this: What would cause only half my exhaust to be running rich? Allan
