First of all, go with a universal 02 sensor and splice the wires.  It's
easy to do and the cost savings are tremendous.Two of the three wires are
the same color, and they're interchangeable, so there's no dififculty in
figuring out which wire goes where. I sell a 3-wire 02 sensor, by Bosch,
for $39.95. Even an 02 sensor with the connector would be far less than
$130 through me, but about double the price of the universal one.

I also have new US-made Cat's for $99.95, and power steering pumps for (I
think; writing from home now) around $250.
