I've got the meter from CB performance, and a heated 02 sensor.  It's really hard to monitor, although that could be a bad ground in the method I'm trying to use.  I have it mounted in an electrical junction box that also has a tachometer and switches for ignition and starting.  Kind of a "remote dashboard" for working on engines.  I've made connections to the vehicle with GM weatherpack connectors so I can close them off when not in use.  The folks on the fuel injection lists I'm on at diy-efi.org refer to these type of displays as guess-o-meters, preferring instead to read the voltage directly from the O2 sensor.  That's great if you can do it, but I'm still thinking I want a guage for a quick referrence.  The CB performance gauge never was stable enough to read though.  There's a really nice, buffered gauge available from www.nordskogperformance.com that the Chevy magazines were all fawning over last month.  It's so cool, apparently, that it's worth $170.00 to them.  Too co!
ol for me.
