Fuel Mixture Gauges
Moe,
I've been looking at that too. It looks to me like you would need two bungs welded (one to each header) and 2 O2 sensors, but from there I'm lost as to how to connect them to the gauge. It seems like you would want to switch between the two so that you could measure your air/fuel mixture on both sides and try to balance them out.

Yes, 2 would be ideal. I have a place on the "Y" of my Y pipe for an O2 sensor and I think that wire just goes thru the firewall and to the gauge. I guess there's a 12v wire also.
I disconnected the carb. vent hose (the big one that goes to the canister) last night and it seems to rev quicker, I'll see after I cut grass all day. Heck, I might have a bad canister, the only problem I have is A/C on, in gear, at a stop, seems to run a little rough, not much though. Just don't like feeling it at the steering wheel. At one time I had it running silent, so I know it'll do better.
See Ya,
Moe
