George -

IIRC, on my '87 the wires FROM the O2 sensor to the point where they connect
to the wiring harness (near the coil on mine) are the two white, one black
as described as above.  The green shielded cable comes from the ECU to that
point.

So, on mine it's shielded from the ECU to the connector, but from that
connector to the O2 sensor it is not.
