Buying air fuel gauge
 
Im looking to buy an autometer airfuel gauge. My question is can i hook it to my factory o2 sensor with out messing up the signal to the computer or do i need to buy a o2 just for the gauge? Also would it be best to buy two or would just using one do what i need? thanks

Unless you're getting a wide band (LC-1, PLX, etc), they're really useless. Anything outside of 14.5 to 14.9 is meaningless since it will be working from the stock narrow band sensors.

Ditto on the above.
An independent wideband 02 is the only way to go if you are really interested in a gauge that actually means something.
My Anderson PMS reads what the stock 02's are reading and they have a really narrow "window". In other words, all they do is flop from lean to rich constantly.
A wideband will give you a much more linear curve to calibrate your air and fuel ratios...
good luck
