Well it seems that a good way to make sure your car is using the proper amount of fuel is to add a Air/Fuel meter, especially since few of these cars have modern computers. So I am looking at what options are available.

It looks like one option is to buy a kit from pelican:

Option 2: Use an 80-83 911 o2 sensor and add an aftermarket gauge...(Which I guess is similiar). I would like to use this sensor, b/c there is a chance I may use an 81 CIS system later on.

So... does anyone have any recomendations and/or suggestions?

I think that was 76 only, I have a 75 and it doesn't cut fuel on deceleration. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

the 75 must have a different # than 76 then. do you know which mine is? could some have the feature and some may not (calif./48 state)? how did you find yours doesn't?
