What size socket do O2 sensors take?

I'm going to a wreckers tomorrow for some odds and ends and am going to grab a slew of O2 sensors (Yeah, bad idea, but even if they don't pass the test, I need them for exhaust/header mockup and wiring in my 67) while I'm at it. What size socket does it take, and what cars am I looking for? Obviously 86-93, but what about 94-95.. What about 4 cylinders and 6's from SN95's.. And explorers and aerostars and windstars and what not? Thanks!

RE: What size socket do O2 sensors take?

Alright, thanks guys.. Sorry, an O2 sensor isn't in the budget when I have 90% of the car to restore..

Do they all take the same O2 sensor do you think? Or if I snagged one out of some other ford car would I be in for a surprise when I have everything wired up?
