Have you ever done your own digital circutry? Its not the funnest thing in the world.

I still would get the autometer AF guage, it will just look nicer. Match your others.

I doubt that I would get the EGT (its a little ugly) but the A/F is a possibilty... I would find somebody who knows this stuff from club vertigo and get them to hook me up

Yes, but unless you install a 3rd O2 sensor, its been well documented that a AF guage will be way less accurate than an EGT guage. Buy the time that your $8 AF guage shows red, its too late. It would be cool for show, but I wouldn't trust my engine to it.

If you did decide to do this I could do the wiring for you. I've done that stuff before, and its not all that tough.

I guess I was not clear.. i'm getting the EGT from autometer no matter what. I am looking at the A/F just because it's cheap and a good backup to the EGT

Ah. That sounds like a good plan. Let me know if you're going to do this...it may be fun just to try.
