    Well, this is for an air/fuel ratio guage right?
    I installed mine and the first time I spliced into the stock 02 sensor.
    1 wire for power
    1 wire (black) for ground
    1 wire (sender unit) for reading.
    If you are splicing into the stock o2 sensor then it goes into the one just before the cat.
    You will find 3 wires on the o2 sensor, black, red and purple. The purple is the one that you can get a reading for the air/fuel ratio guage.

    I did this and I found that my bird would eventually get a check engine light due to low voltage for that particular o2 sensor.
    I eventually bought an autometer o2 snesor install kit for my bird.
    You would weld in 1 extra bung into your exhaust and add a 5th o2 sensor. This added o2 sensor is just for the guage and guage only.

    I hope that helps.
    I've done it before and found out what works and what doesn't.
    Lemme know what happens
