Default Autometer A/F gauge

Could someone give me a run down or walkthrough on how to install an autometer a/f gauge?

I mean where do I splice into for the a/f reading? And where should I wire it up so it lights up with the dash lights?

I know the narrow band a/f gauges aren't that great, considered junk by some, but that's ok I'm going to be converting this to a wideband later on using an innovative LC-1 they came out with for autometer gauges. But if someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it.

Air/Fuel Ratio – Oxygen Sensor Gauge Installation
for 3.8 engine(s)
Pin # 60 at PCM which is a gray wire with a light blue stripe or pin # 87 which is a red wire with a black stripe. Either will work.




I got this off of the Autometer site, hope it helps

I'd do it off the headlight switch since that's what turns on the rest of the dash lights on.

you have to pull out the headlight switch and tap into the dash light dimmer. A car stereo shop would probably be able to look up which wire is the one you want. That's how I figured mine out. All my guages run off the dimmer. It's cool with them dimming with the console.
