glow shift gauge q's?

looking to get a pillar gauge pod with 3,one of them may be air/fuel which requires narrow band oxygen sensors...does a 92 f150 iL300-4.9L 4x4 have this feature or not?also would this gauge be of any use or importance?,just need to fill that third space.ha.what would be a good third gauge to go with?

planning on going with vacuum,water temp.,air/fuel...
what gauges would you guys suggest i go with?

thanks

You're not going to be able to change the air fuel ratio, so your gauge will mainly just be something flashy to distract you from driving. I would monitor oil pressure (since the stock gauge is merely an on-off pressure switch) and water temperature for sure, then for the third I would suggest oil temperature or transmission temperature if you do a lot of towing or heavy hauling, or vacuum if you do a lot of empty driving and want a way to monitor engine load to assist with maximizing fuel economy.

Right on the mark ..

These r good guages
Vacuum and air mix .. These ones listed will keep better tabs on things . The oil presure in stoke dash r not the best . The temp water guage is not to bad .
Trans temp (for the e4od ) Is almost a must . Same with oil temp and presure.
