For some reason I can't for the life of me find the correct o2 sensor instead of a universal to fit this style pig tail! Anybody have any clues on why it would be a female pigtail on the o2 sensor instead of a male? It's a '04 LS1 vette. Here are some pics of what im talking about.

The later vettes differentiate the front and rear sensors with the fronts having males and rears having females on the sensor plug. Earlier vettes used a flat 4 in a row plug for the fronts. I'm not sure the exact year they changed. Not sure what you are asking though. Are you looking for a direct replacement?

Im looking for a direct replacement but all i can find are the flat 4 replacements and the male style replacements like that are on the rear. A part number and brand would be extremely helpful on a front female direct replacement.

P.S.- Read my above post again I changed it as soon as I submitted it.
