My sensor is dead, so i thought i would just spend $40 bucks and get a new one...ha! was i wrong...so my mechanic buddy (i'm stoopid) recommended to convert to carbs.

I'm just doing a single carb set since i got a $400.00 budget.

I can't believe that sensor is $800 to $1200.....

anyway do any of you sell or know of a good deal? I found this on ebay which is just in my range..

what do you think?
