The best thing to do would be to grind/cut the old O2 bung off and weld a new one on. Depending on where you're at in CO, I may be able to help.

Hwy. 66 & I-25. Directly north of you. I may have a spare O2 bung around the shop, I'll check.

You can buy a "spark plug non-fouler" for like 2 bucks at an auto parts store and cut the end off to use it as an oxygen sensor bung.
