Hey Chris, your car is going to love you for replacing that  
filter....never seen an orange one.  If it's still in the garbage,  
cut it open just to see how nasty it really was.  The sensor is up  
front in the "x-pipe/crossover pipe, whatever it's called.  If it's  
original, it might not  want to come out, so soak it in penetrant.   
Here's where I might use the 50/50 Acetone/ATF.  Remove using the new  
OX sensor socket you just bought/borrowed.  If you bought a universal  
one, you've got to cut and crimp the connector on.  Hardest part is  
probably reaching up to remove/connect the connector, which is up  
where the 2 flywheel sensors are plugged in.  Excited to hear how  
that new motor runs with some fuel flow...Tom
