2 connectors 1 o2

[stangster50]

got a stupid q. i have an 89' gt. i bought a used offroad h-pipe and ine of the old broken o2 sensors is jammed in it. the bung is crushed so its not coming out. any way i can splice the connector from the broken side and use the just 1 o2 sensor for both sides? or am i gonna have to do some drilling?

If you just try to use the signal from 1 of the O2's you will never know the balance of the engine. If one cylinder is messing up and running rich, but it is on the bank with the bypassed O2, your ECM won't be able to try and compensate for it. Its best to do it the right way, rather than trying to get around doing some tough work.
