yeah it's a bosch sensor for an 85 ford 350 econoline 5.8liter engine, they match up perfect and you can get them for $50 bucks each at autozone

Look before the cat, right under where the shifter would be. This is directly under your Guibo o.o

I'm Going To Do It Tonight Do you have a O2 sensor socket? Makes the job easier.

IIRC the precat are in the manifolds, and the post cat are between the cats and resonators...closer to the cats. Once you're under there you'll see 'em. If you are using the Econo-line sensor then you will ahve to splice two of course.

Thanks a ton! It's the same sensor, just has a different plug. So you will need to splice the two together.
