I did this to my exhaust system.
  Bungs are cheep $1
  O2 sensors are about 25 to $30 each
  I wired them to two jacks in the glove box so that I could hook up a hand
held voltage meter.  There is a switch to go from cylinders 1-4 and 5-8.  It
would be nice to have a circuit to even out the signal, but it does work.
An analog meter would be better, it evens out the signal some due to
mechanical lag.

  Dear Uncle Jack,


You wrote:


" Best/simplest/cheapest way is to have someone weld in a
threaded receiver in your two
exhaust collectors and add two wide-band O2 sensors & a gauge
with a selector.
The hookup can be temporary or permanent. This will give a
real-time reading
of rich/lean on both banks of the V-8, well before any loss of
metal occurs. "


Since my current engine rebuild is taking a bit longer than
planned and the headers are off of the engine and car and your
"best/simplest/cheapest way" outlined above is attractive and interesting,
then.......

What would be the budget to obtain and install the above
system? Sources and vendors?


Curious, Chuck Engles
