O2 tunning?

Reading this article in tech area

https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/o2tuning.shtml

I was wondering if anyone has done this, or knows how well it works. I just need a cheap temp solution to tune my setup. Dont want to spring for wideband setup. maybe in future

Thanks.

For WOT you want somewhere between 11 to 1 and 12.5 to 1 AFR. (Each eng is different)

All the narow band O2 sensor will tell you is if you are above or below 14.7 to 1. It can't tell how far you are away from that.

Save up for the wide-band, or start learning to read plugs, or better yet,, do both..

I hate the "there is no easy cheap way!" answers... Oh well. Thanks.

heck no, I chucked that thing in the trash. I'm not a big fan of qjets, rochesters or edelbrocks. I'm running an Edel 1406 4 bbl.
