How does the O2 sensor attach to the converter in a 85-86 FJ60? I've had 3 trucks and all 3 were just 'sitting' in position by the tension of the wire lead for the sensor.

There is a bolt that holds them in place.
Is the original converter still in there? If it is not stock it could be a variety of ways or maybe no provisions at all.
Good point.

yes the stock cat was in all three trucks...what does the correct bolted on config look like?
Post #67 is where the sensor comes through the floor board.
The bottom picture in Post #73 is the sensor.

Thanks D!
OK- mine have all looked like that exactly; I guess the piece the O2 attaches to just rusted off the cat- making it able to "slide" in and out of the cat w/ out unbolting..Does that sound, to you, like what has happened? (All 3 trucks are of Northeast origin)

I am away from my rigs. I think I remember a clip holding it in place on the back side.
all it is is a temperature sender IIRC.
anyway the cat should have a spot for 2 small bolts holes to bolt that thingy on there on the stock cat.
i have no cat and just have it tossed up over the e brake cable up and out of the way. made no diferance in the way it ran at all.

Oh yeah, that's riiiight...It is merely a 'probe'-type temp sensor. I remember now, last I was handling it.
Thanks for all your help, if anyone sees that clip, and what it looks like, please show me a picture. Mine I think must have been rotted out (since they all slide in and out of the cat).

Do you need a pic of the cat where the sensor goes in? I'm home so picts are not a problem.

Man, I am a lurker BIG TIME! I just saw this now. I guess maybe I should figure out how to get email notifications for post responses? Is that easy to do? D'animal, yes please forward me that last picture you spoke of: where the sensor goes into the cat. Thx man
