Default How do I wire an A/F ratio gauge?

I just bought a A/F ratio gauge, and I cant seen to find a schematic for the wires on the harness. My harness is D-series (OBD1) for the o2 plug on the harness, which wire is my signal wire. I have heard many different answers. If you can help that would be great! Thanks!

if its not a wide band it is useless as it wont show you the accurate reading.

If its the Autobling type with the lights that go left and right (rich/lean) it taps into the white wire, but in all actuality it'll just be a light show. You need a wide band O2 to read accurate readings with a real gauge.

Ok. Yes its a narrowband not a wideband. So the white wire is my signal, which wire would that be on the engine harness?

from the sound of it he's only looking for the signal wire(white) and this is a narrow band a/f gauge they are junk resell it and buy a real wideband setup from autometer. its like 200-300 for a nice one with plug and play sensor.

What's the point of it let me guess you want gauges just so you look cool... its useless and u probably wouldnt even read it even if it was a real wideband
