Likely there are a few and they are then rebranded. Ron, I also doubt that anyone has really done any kind of controlled test of longevity and accuracy between brands. If you are prepared to assume that brand name/cost is an indicator, then you would have to decide whether to get a brand name universal and splice in your connector, or go with a plug and play. You should check ebay. You will often find the brand name at a good price. _________________________ Richard 90 Red/Tan Coupe 90 White/Tan Coupe 90 Black/Grey Convert

padgett padgett Long Time Member Registered: 06/02/01 Posts: 5880 Loc: Orlando, Florida, mostly now.	The only problem with the Bosch is that it is taller than the A/C Delco. You need to fold the wire a bit to fit in a slotted O2 socket and makes it hard to change the #6 plug. Given a choice, I prefer the Delco. _________________________ Web home www.6007.us
