Default Installing Heated O2 Sensor

So I'm putting a heated O2 sensor in and I'm wondering where some of you fine folks have decided to tap into the power to...well...power it up. Thanks

On my '85 I used the fan relay that is mounted on the driver's side inner wheel well just below the master cylinder. The blue wire is the keyed power wire.

On my 86, I used the OD relay. The factory O2 wire came out of the bundle beside it, so it seemed like a good choice, to keep things neat and tidy.

On my '90 I used the blue wire coming out of this relay by the brake booster on the firewall. I think it is the same one Midnight is talking about.
