Air/Fuel Guage Installation
Has anyone done a write-up for an air/fuel guage install in a 12a? I did a search which yeilded no results.
I know I need the o2 sensor, but where is it installed and what other wires do I connect to the A/F meter.
Thanks in advance,
cheers'

I've done it.
All you have to do is weld a bung into the header collector, screw in a generic one-wire oxygen sensor, and hook it up to whatever you're used to read it (i like my trusty DVOM, but some people actually spend $35-100-more for stuff with less resolution)
It's OK for telling you if you're lean or rich, you can't trust it to tell you much more than that because the band is so narrow. But, that is still useful for a rotary, because a rotary can run extremely rich or extremely lean and still run smoothly, just with less power than optimal. The sensor will help you know which side of the fence you're on.

ok great.
my uncles are welders so getting the "bung" and the thread or whatever it is into the headers (that i will eventually get) won't be a problem.
