Here you go. BTW. Got the muffler and exchangers together last night. Muffler went on beautifully. Since it was 1 AM. I thought I'd wait till today (after work) to put the oil back in and listen to the music?

Ok so if you clip the existing wire clean with the Original O2 with a new one being 6 inches will it work then??

I'm not sure what you're saying. I think you are asking if I cut the wire off the original sensor right at the sensor and got a new sensor with 6 inches of wire to replace the original, I could then splice the new sensor's wire to what's left of the old one and it would reach. Actually, I'd need 8-9". The Bosch part mentioned above comes with only about 2 1/2" of wire though. There is a $30 Bosch sensor with a longer wire and a female spade connector at the end of the wire that I could use if I attach a male spade connector to my existing wire (or cut the connector off and use a butt connector or solder), but I hate to pay $30 for a few inches of wire, since my factory sensor is pretty new.

yeah thats what I was thinking. I think that you could probably find that wire locally maybe even radio shack but you would have 2 butt splices which is not good for resistance

Does it have to be a Bosch sensor? Also, did the 74 exchangers have a sensor?

no and no I would guess you would be fine with what ever you can find
