Oxygen Sensor question

Hi All,
As an aside to the recent O2 sensor debate, I recently picked up a sensor
for my '87 5ktq from a UAP location, after trying without success a number
of times a a number of Canyuckian Tire locations (asking for a sensor for a
'92 Ford F150 6-cylinder and getting, "Amazing, the computer says it's for a
3-wire application, and yet they're all 4-wire sensors in the boxes").  The
sensor is a 3-wire allright, but it's not a Bosch unit and has a slotted
metal cover over the ceramic sensor element.  All "Audi parts only for Audi
cars" aside, should I cut 'n' splice or return 'n' shop (some more)?
Thanks!
Steve Sears
1987 5kTQ - 308000 kms on the original oxy sensor (I believe)
1980 5k - oxygen sensors?, catalytic converters? what are they?
1962 and '64 Auto Union DKW Junior deLuxes - surrounded by a cloud of blue
exhaust - that's normal.
