who can help?
Was swapping out the x-pipe for the prochamber today and noticed that the threads were beat up on the driver-side for the o2 senser.
Does any one have a tap and die set? I would just stick the x-pipe back on but it now has the same problem ... suspect that the sensor for that side caused it on both of them after it tried to leave it's threads in the pipe when I pulled it out.

If I remember correctly, that is an unsual thread size. May take you several phone calls to find one

Well that's not very encouraging, car sounds like a "chevy truck" at the moment.
Any suggestions on who to call?

I would try an exhaust shop.
I might be able to get one but it wouldn't be until Wednesday.

Or you could get an old spark plug (one of the big ones like in a 60's car or out of a mower) and thread it in there.

Guess I'll see if I can catch a break before work.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Why not just get a new o2 bung, like $10 from mac I think, and have that one cut out and a new one welded in? Probably like a $30 or $40 repair total so there really isnt any point in trying to rig something to work. Fix it right the first time, and you wont have to worry about it again.
