... well, I was able to get a 3-wire Bosch universal for the '85 4kSQ from
GPR.  I don't remember the exact price, but it was in the $50 ballpark.
Unfortunately the PO had replaced the OXS with a 1 wire universal (I wonder
if the thing EVER got hot enough to work mounted at the entry flange to the
cat!) and the heater wires were NLA.  Thanks Chris for fixing me up with
replacements!
