All sensors are affected by lead but the Bosch LSM-11 sensor used in
the Bosch LA-2 a/f meter is less affected by lead. Sheet shows after
500 hours exposure to 0.5 gm/gal , the sensor shows <0.02 lambda change.
That is not alot of lead, but 500 is lotsa hours. Bosch says they can
be renewed if not too dirty by running in unleaded engine for awhile.
Sensor costs about $160 so cheap 3 wires may be cheaper in long run.
