Default Need Thread Size of O2 Sensor...

Can anyone tell me the thread size of the stock O2 sensors (after the cats) on an LT1/LT4? I need to buy a plug for my Corsa system for when I do my LT header install.

Also, where might I buy a stainless plug? ( I see a few on Summit.)


Thanks in advance,
David

So all O2 sensors are the same then (18mm)?


If so, I guess that'll make it pretty easy to indentify a plug!

Should be 18mm, same as an 18mm spark plug.

It's 18mm just like the old style, larger spark plugs. You can use one of them for a plug if you want! You can get an 18mm universal replacement oil pan plug and it'll fit perfectly too, that's what I use. It was a couple of bucks at Autozone.
