when you get an aftermarket converter they shold be welded on so there are no air leaks in front of it. Yur car uses only 1 O2 sensor which should have not been removed. it wll be infront of the converter.

Here are the pictures of the new one. My system is an obd1 system and this catalytic converter is for 1995 and earlier. This is for a 1992 Cadillac Deville. This car is weird anyways. I had to buy 1993 hood struts because the 1992 struts were shorter than the original ones. the 1993 hood struts were the same size as my original ones. The car was wrecked awhile back. my grandma bent the frame on it. they had to staighten it out as much as they could. It is still bent on the right side. My grandma used this car to mud in when she got it.

Lets say I cut the old one off and their is no sensor is that normal. I won't know until I cut it off if their is a sensor or not. I have looked and have not seen one. It might be on the top where I can't see it.

the sensor is in the pipe prior to the converter not the converter itself. jut have a muffler shop replace it if you aren't confident enough

I'm confident enough I just don't understand why the sensor would be in the pipe. I guess that is just Cadillac for you.

they are all in the pipe, they have to read at the hottest point of exaust temp.

For pre-OBD-II models O2 sensors are located on exhaust manifold or the exhause pipe just after the exhaust manifold and not on the catalytic converter. These vehicles would have only one O2 sensor for the engine system and if there are a second sensor, it would be wired separately with another indicator for the catalytic converter sensor.
