Default AIR/FUEL question

Hey...this may sound like a stupid question but it's got me stumped!!...I want to get an air/fuel gauge.....i know that there are 2 oxygen sensor before the exhaust mixes in the X chamber....what sensor do i use....does it matter...or do i get 2 gauges...hook them up each sensor that way i know what both side of the engine are doing....some say this is pointless but they cant tell me why they think that so thats why iam asking....my plan is to buy 2 gauges...hook one up to one sensor and the other gauge up to the other sensor and that way i could tell if the left side was lean or rich...and i could also tell if the right side was running lean or rich....if i had a problem...like a weak injector this would tell me what side of the engine it is on....AM i wrong...if so caould u tell me how to hook this gauge up properly?

I used a 3 way toggle switch, so I can switch which side I want to see.
getting 2 gauges is a waste of money

ok..that makes sense.. i might try that? i always thought that one gauge hooked up with no way of seeing the other sensor would be kinda dumb

Eldelbrock makes one, you can get them through jegs or summit, I don't want to plug and offend any of this sights sponsers who might sell this guage as well....I just know you can get a guage at either of those sights. I have one on the way too so i can get the jetting right on my 85.
