Which WB O2 sensor is OK?

[Kevin _]

I believe you need a sensor from a non-CA car.  As we know, emission laws 
are stricter in CA because of smog problems.  Therefore, I'm drawing the 
assumption that the CA version had to run stoich to maintain maximum 
catalyst efficiency and lowest emissions.  You can easily detect stoich with 
a cheaper, switching narrow-band O2 sensor.  In the other states, laws are a 
little less strict so I'm guessing it was a lean-burn civic VX in 49 states. 
  Just to toss out a question, does anybody know what A:F they ran on the 
lean-burn side of that VX?  I know it couldn't be that lean because its not 
stratified charge, but I am curious...
