You need a few basic hand tools to finish the job. A tap and die and some JBWeild for the thermosensor, And removal of the IC to get to the O2 wire is about all you need.
Here is a very bad pic of how it's installed...

SilverT2's was taken at idle - check the tach. I'm guessing he was stopped. 
I have a temp gauge that I picked up, too. Where could I find one of them nifty pillar housings like in the pics? Is there a particular name for that style?

a/f gauge is easy. water temp will be tricky. depends where you want to mount the sensor... mines in the water pump housing but you need to take it off to put it there (good 4-5 hours maybe?)

Oh, and I'd like to install the sensor in the piece with the rad cap (filler neck? It's been a long day... 
) Tool and die, right? I've never used them b4. Would someone give me a quick run-down on what I'll need and how to use it properly?
