I believe the 'low volts at banks 1 and 2' is coming from the
fact that 1996 and later LT1's use OBD2.  This means they
actually use 4 O2 sensors.  You have the upstream ones installed
as usual, but not the downstream ones.  There are several
internet venders who sell 'simulators' to fool the computer into
thinking the second set of sensors are still there.  Here is
one:  http://racenet.net/f-body/electrical.html
They are listed toward the bottom of this page.  Not cheap, but
effective.
