Stock ECU with wide bands?? So I am finishing up my 67 Nova/LS1 conversion. I have a Frost tune, and I have 1, stock O2 sensor and need another one. Will the stock computer accept wide band O2's or do I even need them and will another stock unit work? It's not a real radical engine; stock cubes, ported, stock heads, 228@.050 cam, 3600 Yank etc.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Jay

You can set up most widebands to give an analog output that can be used for the narrow band input to the PCM. Personally, I would install two stock narrow bands for the PCM to use and install a separate wideband (can be temporary for tuning) - only because I have seen too many issues with modified harnesses. If you do decide to use a wideband in place of a narrow band, make sure all connections are done correctly and weather tight...

As far as stock? AC delco always were the longest lasting for me - if you can find them reasonable... Bosch are good too - if you need longer cables to reach your harness, corvette rears have long leads. If not, F-Body or Vette applications will work (front and rear all have the same connectors and function the same).
