Question about pulsing while idling

I have a 91 convt with 72k on it. It runs good, however it pulses between 1.5 and 1.7 while idling. Could it be an O2 sensor? I don't have any records for the car but I know it is recommended to replace it at 60k.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

looks for a cracked vacume line

spray some wd-40 around, if it smooths out, you just sprayed the leaked, keep looking and you will find it
