Still running good?
Everyone always says that Bosch O2 sensors are crappy. I've had one in mine for almost a year (it only ran for half that time) but anyway, I haven't noticed any issues. I'm gonna have to put this on my todo list. |

Jeff - still running well. I used a bosch 3-wire. I've personally not had problems with bosch, but I'll switch to NGK if a problem arises.

Matthew, for the O2 sensor did you use that part #13190 or a different one, of course none of the big autoparts places around have that one.
Going to try to do this tonight since I have the Y pipe out. Thanks, Jeff |

Jeff - that's the one that I used. It's a universal style so I'm surprised you can't find it locally. I ordered mine offline because it was cheaper, I never even looked at the parts stores. But I did buy the adapter at Pep Boys with no problem.

I went with the 13077 sensor. It had male connection which is what I needed. $45 at O'reilly.

Car is running very well. Still tinkering with the trans governor adjustments. I haven't pulled the dizzy to inspect the new gear yet. I will do that at the next oil change. One word of caution about some info I posted before regarding the heated O2 sensor. Everything seemed to be running fine after I installed it. I used the fuel pump power wire after the relay because it was the thickest gauge and I figured it could handle the current draw. Like I said, it seemed fine. But the other night I ran about 6 back to back WOT runs to test the trans governor. After I was turning around, the car died. I was able to restart it immediately, but it threw a SES code. I drove home carefully and pulled the code, it was a 54, which is a fuel pump circuit code. It has never thrown this code in 4 years. I don't think it is a coincidence. The solution is what I should have done in the first place. I ordered a relay kit that should arrive soon. I bought a 5 prong but will use it as a 4 prong. It will use the ignition switch from the fuel pump circuit since that will draw very little power. Power will come from the distribution circuit behind the battery. Ground from a close source, and then the accessory power wire will run to the heated O2. This will eliminate power draw from the fuel pump circuit. Hope this helps anyone in the future. Matthew |

i haven't read this whole thread yet... but it sounds like it was a "fun" time you had! :/ .... is there anyways to check for cam walk on a normal engine? pull distributor and see if the cam shaft will slide up and down with a long handled screwdriver or something similar? |

Fun is one way to describe it  The endplay will be forward/aft movement so you would stick a long handled screwdriver in the dizzy hole and see if it moves back and forth...it shouldn't. There is a thrust plate on the block under the timing cover for roller cams. Best way to check is before the motor is installed, unfortunately that's not always an option. Matthew |
