Mustang Air/fuel Ratio Gauge
I was wondering about using a air/fuel gauge that i have. I have a glowshift narrowband gauge that came with the set of gauges that i got. I know that my car is wideband, im just wondering if there is anyway to make this work, I was thinking that i could get a narrow band o2 sensor and use it to go into one of my back o2 bungs of my offroad h pipe. I can always break down and cough up the money to buy the wideband set up but using my money to buy cams and wont be able to get one for a while. If anyone knows how i cam make this work temp then i will be happy to try it. Thanks

first, mustangs use narrow band sensors stock. There are 2 different ECU wires you can tap to make a narrowband (flashy lights) gauge work from your stock sensors. It's not hard but it's also 100% pointless.
The only AF gauge of any kind that's worth more than 2 squirts of cold **** is a wideband.
Narrow band is only going to tell you if you're richer than 14.7:1, leaner than 14.7:1 or just about exactly at 14.7:1. Not by how much and certainly not in any way that'll be useful to you other than maybe to induce an epileptic seizure.
Wide band will tell you what it's running real time. Issue there is about every year you get to replace the sensor and you have to calibrate it every so often or it'll read wrong. All that entails about 10 minutes but it's more maintenance to do.
