Default Installed 4-2-1 header on 93 del sol!!!

ok so last night i bought a 4-2-1 header for 30 bucks and i installed it this morning. Im haveing trouble getn my 02 sensor out of my old manifold. I have a 02 socket that didnt help and visegripes with no help either. I have no money for a new one yet.

Run the car for 10 minutes with the o2 on it then try to get it out. Just don't burn yourself. No you won't have a problem, you will lose very small amount of miles per gallon, and your computer will need to clear the fuel maps it learns from that, but that's fixed by disconnecting the negative terminal for 5-10 minutes.
