O2 sensor help

I am looking for an O2 sensor for my 81 Deville. In the part description it includes the phrase "VIN(9)" or other variation of this. What does this mean?

RE: O2 sensor help

Hey there Haze: The Vin 9 will be the 368 engine. The 80-85 model years will have a 1 wire and a 2 wire oxy sensor. You will most likely need the two wire sensor. They are around $70
