no, the bung threads are smaller than the o2 threads... I guess I could try cutting up an old o2 sensor and tapping it to make an adapter...

If I can't make an adapter I'll give it a go... thanks for the help y'all.

Go to the autopart store and buy a 18x1.5 thread oil drain plug. The drill a hole in it and tap it the correct size. Would take less time than reading this thread!

If I dork up the adapter/o2 housing beyond repair, I'll probably go this route...
