Will an A/F gauge make me happier, or will it drive me nuts?
The 914 is carburated, and it runs great. But still have explosions in the tail-pipe when engine breaking. To add to the drama, 90% of these tail-pipe explosions occur under freeway-overpasses. Whats the verdict on the Gauge Yes or No? Thanks in advance. |

I have been on a steep learning curve since installing Webers on my 911 2.7 with headers. I have an O2 meter in each header about 6' downstream of the collector, a few inches before the muffler couplings. I have installed the Innovate Motorsport double A/F harness from the O2 gauges into their single gauge that shows separately each A/F. I have found them extremely helpful along with a carb air flow gauge to adjust the carbs. While I watch the gauges a bit neurotically, I get comfort from knowing how the carbs are performing at any time.
