Subject:Re: Is there a such thing as a POD mountable DIGITAL voltmeter?

Wouldn't you need to mount another O2 sensor (or at least unplug it from
the ECU) to adequately measure this minute voltage adequately. Wouldn't the
voltage drop to the VOM affect the signal to the ECU and interfere with the
Mixture setting updates..  I'd be interested in this too.  By the way,  CB
(Claudes buggies)) sells a  dash mounted air/fuel mixture gauge (Volt
Meter).  Let me know what you find out.

Have fun
