02 Sensor.....

[87BrnRsd]

I have an 87 K5 tbi 350, and just installed a set of headers. Since the headers are longer than the stock manifolds, the 02 sensor wire is about 2 inches too short to screw into the bung on the collector. Does anybody know where to get a longer 02 sensor wire, or how to remedy this problem? Thanks.

Maybe one of these?

Just cut the wire and splice in another length of wire that's the proper size. Make sure you do a nice job and solder the wire and use heat shrink afterwards.

good luck with that. O2 sensors use steel wire. Soldering the wires is a pain in the butt(done it before). Look to see how the wire is routed and if you can possibly route it another way. Either way you should put a 3 wire O2 sensor in instead of the stock 1 wire.

Don't know what 02 sensor you have but the one in my current rig is just normal copper stranded wire and the same with my other rig i had and also the same as my Thunderbird.

3 wire O2 from a newer S10 in my 89 burb had steel wires.
