Vanagons didn't go to a heated, 3 Wire O2 sensor until 1986 when Digifant FI was introduced. Your 85 is a Digijet FI system, using a single wire O2 sensor, just like my 84 Westy (and Calif Vanagons 80-83.5, 1.9 Wassers 83.5-85). -- Jim Thompson 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 73 K Ghia Coupe "Denise" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com ********************************** On 9/7/06, Marion Lathem <resiolute@copper.net> wrote: > > Darrell, > Thank you for the information in the O2 sensor.
