First, do you know if the guage is accurate?

If you have an A/F guage, I'll assume there's other mods installed, thus you may need tuning adjustments.

If there's no mods installed and you just happen to be using gauges for appearance, then it is probably the fact that preludes tend to run rich with age. ...like mine.

Is it a narrow band or a wide band gauge?

ummm... lol is it a digital gauge or an analog gauge with blinky lights? Digital usually gives direct number readouts. or do u have a link or pic of who makes the gauge?

o, if I were to guess I'd say its a narrow band, which suck lol, cuz they wont tell you wat ur A/F's are, only that it isnt Stoick lol. get a wideband like the AEM UEGO, expensive but will tell you exactly what A/F you have. You might just be running slightly rich, which the narrowband will not help tell you how rich.
