Question AUTOMETER AIR/FUEL Gauge QUESTION

Has anyone used or heard of a harness?? That plugs into the 02 sensor?? That has a wire to plug the gauge into? Making the whole process alot easier?

I got one for Christmas..With the boost and tranny temp..and am contemplating hooking it all up myself or paying..

First quote 55/hour 4-5 hour job.

Any help would be so so appreciated..

Maybe a link where to buy the harness too..

Thanks folks.

Matt

Just buy a "quick-tap" from AutoZone, Pepboys etc and splice into the black (signal) wire on the O2 harness. They cost like $0.35.

I found it on here once that someone used. I believe it was from a mustang performance website but it just was a lot easier to hookup than the wiretap. Maybe someone remembers the site.

A useless gauge if it hasn't been modified for closed loop O2's. Check the site www.gadgetseller.com for a modified A/F gauge.

I have used one of Gadget's modified A/F gauges in my Talon for a few years, it works great. I have one of the Lunar A/F gauges on order now for my Lightning.

I think I will order one of the o2 pigtails as well, thanks for the link.

I know the gadget gauge works, it has been very consistent with all of the dyno runs I made with a A/F plot. The best investment I ever made. Been told by a lot that its not accurate, hum, sure shows itself when on the dyno. Its a keeper for me
