Don't you have to just tap it into the 02 sensor? That's what I did with my old Autometer Sport Comp II Air/fuel ratio gauge on my old accord. Correct me if I'm wrong.

do you want a blinky light that tells you nothing useful or a functional reading of your air/fuel ratio? big difference in how they install.

I just want something like that, i want it to idk go up when i turn my car on, but as for really watching it? for something useful not really lol. Just want it to do whatever its supposed to i guess.
And do you happen to know if i get an amp gauge (60amps) and i hook it to my high output alt, 150-225 amp, would the gauge just be maxed at 60 all the time, or would it like "fry" the gauge?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2FxKSygGSA that gauge will do EXACTLY that while you're driving around and wired to the stock sensor.

amp gauge is useless, as all amperage has to pass through the gauge. you would need to run your 0 gauge cable from the alt to the gauge then to the battery/starter.
