There is a jumper (looks like a relay socket) in the harness near the ECU where you can set the engine up for different octane ratings and the legend goes that if you remove this jumper the engine disregards the O2 sensor and runs the engine as if it was without a cat.

Its useful because then you can figure out where your car is running lean and where it is running rich. Then you can start tweaking the ECU a little.
For max power, I was told, 12.7:1 A/F is good. Actually using a Lambda value is better.

My interest in the possibility of hooking up an O2 sensor is primarily academic. If the facility exists to run the engine with adaptive feedback, that would be interesting to try. The 75 shop manual (TS engine supplement, in English), shows both a knock sensor and O2 sensor on the wiring diagram page. The problem is, they are only listed in the key at the bottom of the page; they are not shown in the diagram itself. All of the ECU pin-outs for AFM, TPS, rpm, relays, power, ground, etc., are the same as say a 1990 US spec, Motronic spider. Even one side of the dual ign shares pin-outs with the '90. It's just tempting to extrapolate.

Well Bruce, it's not adaptive. Just closed loop, good for emissions and fuel economy.

Mats,
Early cars had no lambda. My uncle's TS was an '87 (old style grille, yellow corner lights) and it had no lambda.

-87? I thought they were released in -88?

Let me correct that, his was an '89. You could be correct that the first production 75 TS rolled out in '88. Still, his had no close loop control. Actually my dad's '93 164 V6 has no closed loop control either.

Different markets... Thats why they have that jumper.

You make it sound as if I could at least get closed loop control if I install an O2 sensor and eliminate/add the "jumper". Care to comment?
Then there is the knock sensor. Did the closed loop TS's of this vintage have one to help control timing?

Probably, unless they changed the harness, but since there is a jumper I'm guessing they didn't.
Add the O2 sensor and add a jumper and you're set.
The knock sensor is probably only there for protection, if you use poor fuel quality the knock sensor lowers the ignition but it's unlikely that it tries to optimize the ignition. Probably the ECU just follow a base map (that you select with the jumper).
That's my guess anyway...

G'Day Bruce,
See my site (in my sig) for the "Alfa 75, Twin Spark 'S' Version with Catalytic Convertor" manual and a description of the plug/jumper.
Wiring diagrams in the manual show the O2 sensor (S10).
