I think I'll tackle this tonight as my 280 mile all hwy trip this weekend
with the new 02 only yielded 20 MPG.
Where will I find the block ground bundle?  Which direction is best
ingress/egress?  As the 02 bung is so full of crap etc,it wouldn't surprise
me at all if it is not the best of conductors at the moment. I think I'll
try a ring lug right around the 02 probe to the body and then run to the
common ground you mention.  I have a 600 miler tomorrow and anything over
20MPG will be well worth the effort.

BTW, if you wanted to create a pseudo 4-wire set up with the stock
sender you can run a dedicated ground wire from the ground lug on the
block and either a ring lug large enough to go around the OXS threads or
to a self tapping screw into the crossover assembly.  I'm thinking you
could drill a hole in the structure of the crossover that is not part of
the exhaust piping.  If I were to do this, I'd probably also use a star
washer between the ring lug and the self tapping screw to ensure a good
electrical connection.
