Default Question about Plugs and o2s
I know its been covered before but i couldnt really find anything. Where is the cheapest place to buy AC delco o2 sensors?

With my setup below, what plugs and gap should i run? i was thinking of going one step colder to NGK tr-6's gapped around .035 - .040. Opinions? Thanks guys

I would try to contact "thepartsladi" on Ebay and see if she can hook you up with some AC Delco o2 sensors.
Not sure about the plugs, I think you should still be ok with tr55's gapped at .035"-.045"

Last time I checked amazon.com and gmparts direct were cheapest at about $55 each for the oxygen sensors. Don't really know about spark plugs that much, I got Autolite Irridiums for my bolt-on setup.

I'll take a Denso O2 sensor off of sparkplugs.com for $34.52 each. There is also a code floating around that works and will get you 10% off i believe. Denso's are a great 02 sensor.

Don't want to float rumors around, but I did here of one case of Denso o2's not working out for someone. Then they switched to AC Delcos.

Yes, I have heard bad things about Denso and Bosch. I would personally not get anything but AC. The part number is AFS 75 but make sure they are genuine AC Delco.

'94-'97, I don't believe they will work for '93.

Yeah, I'm going to do some data logging. If the o2's don't cut it, I'll throw the new AC Delco's on.
