"bought an auto trans z28 ( wish it was a stick but o well) its in pretty good shape actually . I already have my first problem though. went to smog check and it wont pass. they said its my o2 sensors... "

why don't you just change out the sensors if that is all that is causing you to fail?

try clean all your up stream sensors also IE the MAF helps the car run better and yes my avatar rocks!

Have you tried using a can of Seafoam, in the gas tank or through a vacuum port on the intake?

if it's o2 sensors then you might have bought some bad ones, go get your money back.

what is the car failing on? o2s will give you bad hydrocarbons, high nox is usually from dirty dirty cylinders (hot spots) or faulty EGR. I'd try seafoam or water to clean those cylinders,
