Air Fuel Gauge??

[asecretfile]

Can I run any air fuel gauge thats normally for EFI on my carbed car?

reason I ask is because part of the wiring shows O2 sensor wiring

thanks

The oxygen sensor is what reads air/fuel. So, you can't use an air/fuel gauge without an oxygen sensor. That said, you can install an oxygen sensor on your car, even though its a carburetor car, and I believe most air/fuel gauge kits come with a wide band sensor, which is what you want anyway.

Buy a wideband and tap it into the exhaust.

I highly recommend that you buy one of the commerically packaged kits like the innovative wide band kit - see http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/db.php

Here's why:
The A/F gauges that use the O2 sensor signal will jump all over the place. The reason is that the O2 sensors "switch" between .2 volt lean and .6 volt rich with a curve that looks like the drop off a high cliff. The curve is almost straight up and down, so the voltage shoots from .2 to .6 and back down . again 2 or more times a second at cruse. You won't get much useful information except when the mixture is extremely lean or extremely rich, there is no middle ground.

Use 43 (Dark Blue/Lt Geen wire) or pin 29 (Dark Green/Pink wire ) on the computer. Use Wire tap-ins from Radio shack P/N 64-3052. The computer is located under the passenger side kick panel. That keeps you from having to crawl under the car and make a weather proof splice in the wiring. You can use either one, or run a SPDT switch and use both. Then you can use the switch to select which side to view.
