Most 80-84.5 yotas came with a one wire oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold. Also known as a dummy sensor :o) Never heard of one down there. Is it affecting mileage or power?

the sensor was on the back of the old cat converter. and yes there are two wires. sense replacing the converter with a new one the truck will not idle smooth and seems to be running real rich.
