Default O2 Sensor?

I know that this is probably going to sound like a dumb question to most, but I have an '88 and I am wondering if there are O2 sensors on them?

I figure there are, but the reason why I ask is because I see that a lot of Headers and Y-Pipes (Or the Y-Pipe to the header.. I lost my train of thought..) have the option of with or without the O2 sensor hole.

I want to install a Fuel Pressure gauge and an Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge in my 'Vette, but if I don't have an O2 sensor, I won't exactly have any use for the Air/Fuel Ratio gauge.

Thanx in advance!

Yes, you have an 02 sensor. It'll be in the exhaust, under the driver's side of the car, near the firewall/floor pan.

Regarding your mention of A/F gauge...are you thinking about a "wide band" A/F gauge or a cheapie 'narrow band' gauge?

I honestly haven't decided, yet. I've only just started looking into A/F gauges, as of earlier today.

Any header that does not have an O2 bung can have one welded in, Summit sells those too. Preferably you want it in the collectors, like TPiS headers, rather than in one primary like the Hooker 2149.
