    You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....

    You mean the dwell reading or the round air/fuel?
    Dwell is connected to ground and positive to the test plug (different place from you VIN)
    Air/Fuel has 3 wires, one to the ground, one to positive and one to the Lambda probe.
    Hope this helps.

    Yeah the round air/fuel. Do you find it to be accurate? Is it worth having in the tool box? Do you have plans of permanently mounting it?

    Yes I think its helpful to tells you how's your engine running, but I'm not an expert.
    Nevertheless I think you might have it in your tools box, just in case.
    No, I don't plan to mount it permanently in the car, I want to keep it as stock as possible.

    That meter is really just monitoring the voltage on the stock narrow band sensor. You can't get much range from a narrow band sensor but it's really good at the 14.7 AFR. If you have a running lambda and a dwell meter it tells you the same that the mixture is correct or not.

    Decided to go for a ride to see how my idle goes, was fine all the week without moving.
    Unfortunately, after a few minutes driving something else happened...
    I hear a loud noise on the front and was almost unable to move the steering wheels.
    Finally I pull over on the road to see any damage.
    I lost a nut on my lower arms which were brand new from Midwest.
    Unfortunately, the nut isn't drilled and is just a lock-nut which moved away.
    I checked the other side and is almost unscrew too, amazing!
    So, like I wasn't too far away from home, my wife brought me some tool to repair the car.
    I think it damage the steering rack (which was brand new from Ed) like I was unable to turn the steering wheels properly.
    Anyway, needless to say I'm a little bit disappointed. I spent two years working on the car and now I'm a little bit tired.
    Here are a few pictures...
