Installing Auto Meter Fuel/Mixture Guage. Which wire/color is the "signal" wire coming from the 02 sensor and where is it most easily accessible? I am also installing the Fuel Pressure Guage at same time. Is there anything else I need to complete the install other than what comes in the kit? Both are Cobalt Auto Meter Guages. Any suggestions etc. Thanks!

You will likely want to do a remote sensor mount for the fuel pressure gage. You dont have to, but I understand there can be vibration probs if you dont. You have to buy a couple of adaptors, and a short stainless line.
Parts needed:
ATM-3227 - 3 ft., -4 AN braided stainless steel line with 3/16 in. I.D. fittings
for mechanical pressure gauges
ATM-3274 - -4 AN, 90 degree with swivel nut, brass, elbow fitting
ATM-3275 - For use with fuel rails, 1/16 in. NPT male to -4 AN male, brass,
mechanical gauge adapter

Lets you put the sensor and wires up on the firewall.

FWIW (and I'm not knocking the Autometer A/F entirely) you might want to consider a wideband A/F, such as the one in the thread below. It's an upgrade from the standard "light show" A/F setups...

The Wideband Commander isn't cheap; expect to pay in the $450-ish range for it, more info at their site:

Just some food for thought.

For the 02 sensor, I just installed one on my cobra a few days ago. I don't remember the exact wire color, but when looking at the big connector that connects to the computer under the passenger side kick panel, the wires are kind of split up into sections.

Starting at the front of the car, on the side closest to the driver, there is a "group" of wires, then moving from the front of the car back, there is a space, and then there's another group of wires.

I tapped into the last wire (the one right before the space) in the first section there, I think it's #92 or something like that. IIRC, it was red with an orange stripe.

Here's the wiring diagram I used. Looks like it was pin #87 red/black.

They are autometer part #'s. Got mine from Summit on-line. I shopped around and they seemed to have the best price. That was several months back, might look around to check on current prices.
