RE: AEM air/fuel gauge
Everyone seems to be a little bit short sighted when it comes to installing an A/F gauge (at least those who responded). As a shop owner and having put this on my car, its not a "2 minute job" then just run wires. Yes, the shop could easily have had issues with another car. Happens almost every day here. I can count on at least 1 car being difficult. While doing mine, I dropped the exhaust midsection so I could put it infront of the converterwhere it wont get beat up by debris. Disconnecting and connecting the O2 wire on the passenger side is a pain in the butt. Drill a bighole, weld in a bung, hang it back up. Wiring access is easy enough. Pull out the inner fender liner and there is a big hole to the engine. Also a hole for the wiring harness to go through the firewall. Gotta cut it just abit to make extra room, then seal it off again. The top of the dash can be reached by hand from underneath to run the wires through the vent grate to either a pillar pod or center dash pod. Surprisingly, there isntanything in the way to do this, but it certainly isnt easy because you need to be a contortionist to getyour hand up there.If the windshield were a bolt in item, it would go much faster. Tookmyself and another pair of hands to get the wires throughit. I took some pics when I did this install but have never posted them yet. I used a dual center dash pod for A/F and boost gauges.
