1.) put the Clymer on a nail in the outhouse.
2.) get a Bentley
3.) clean the ground wires attached to the left cylinder head.
4.) lay down in front of the driver's side front wheel, look up near the
windshield washer bottle. Find the box about 2x3 with speedo cables
going in and out of it.  Find the button on the box.  Press button until
you hear the zooop sound of it resetting. No more O2 light.
5.) water pump change? See item 2.
