What kind of Oxygen Sensor??

I have an '86 Firebird 2.8L MPFI, and my current o2 sensor has one purple lead to a connector and screws in right before the cat. AC parts are too expensive.

Bosh has the cheapest - "O.E. Type with connector; Unheated.

Standard is also in my price range - "OE Style; 1 Lead

Are either of these going to fit my car?

Thank you

-Erik W.

I just installed the Bosch o2, i looked at the AcDelco 1st but the parts store didnt have any in stock so i got Bosch, and i dont remember Delco beind that much more expensive when they pulled the prices up.

Huskie,

Just an inside hint - Bosch was (and may still be) the O.E.M. supplier to GM for oxygen sensors. If you HAD purchased the AC/Delco sensor, you would have opened the red, white, and blue AC box and found a Bosch sensor inside. Pretty cool, eh?

Later,
Vader
