Brian,

Strangely enough, a spark plug will fit just fine, at least until you get a
real plug to replace it...

Subject: O2 Sensor in Catalytic Converter

Hi List,

I have an 84 Westy on which I recently resealed the heads and replaced the
old rusty exhaust system (hurray!).  I got a new catalytic converter from
the Bus Depot that has a port in it for an Oxygen senor.  Well, I don't need
to put an O2 sensor there, as there is already one in the connector pipe.
Unfortunately, the plug to fill the hole that came with the cat blew out
somewhere on the road. Can anyone tell me what the thread pattern is for
that port, or better yet, would anyone be willing to send me something to
fill it (perhaps an old unwanted O2 sensor)?  Any other suggestions?

Thanks a million.

Brian
