Air/Fuel Ration Question

I have install an air/fuel gage and it tends to run "rich" most of the time. Is there anything I can do to help it run more "stoch?"

Is this normal?

Thanks for any help/advice!

Guy

Is it a regular or wideband air/fuel? Regular air/fuel gauges are pretty much just a light show and don't work too well

I'm pretty sure it's a wideband...I spent enough on it. Is there anything I can do to get it running "stoch?"

Thanks for the repy!

Well, I've had the engine bored w/ larger pilstons, forged rods, and rings, 4-1 DC header, AEM Intake, and fullcatback exhaust.

(+ water temp gauge, since the one on the dash decided to stop working).

I did not pay 300 duckets for it, it's an Autometer A/F gauge, but it still wasn't cheap. So is there anything that I can do to get it running stoich more often? It seems that even when I'm doing the speed limit (ex. 55mp) it's still running on the low end of "rich."

Thanks for any replys!

Oh well, still looks pretty spiffy anyhow...although I thought I was getting something I wasn't. Lesson learned...do more research before making a purchase. YES!
