<x-charset iso-8859-1>Just forwarding this to the list for General Info. John, any plans to get more of those made?

We had a good O2 Sensor kit but have been out for some time (we had them made to our specs). The K & N meter is the same way.

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.
