There is nothing magical about an 82 O2 sensor. Just pick one up at Autozone or O'Reillys.

You will still need one as it will throw a code.

When a Corvette has had the catalytic's removed....YES...I have used the three wire heated O2 sensors for a Corvette and ran a FUSED 12 volt source, a ground and then connected the last wire to the current wire so it will heat up and not rely on exhaust to do it.

I believe the O2 sensor was for a 1992 ZR-1 if my memory serves me correctly.

Did you read my post #3????

I wrote that I have USED this type of O2 sensor....SO ...YES...it will work but you have to wire it in. Because your O2 sensor is only a ONE WIRE sensor...and the heated O2 is a three wire.

That should work just fine if you choose to use it.
