Nice mod and great video. An A/F gauge is probably one of the best mods I've done to my car. Has helped me out significantly when tuning the carburetor.
I would argue that the A/F gauge is worth keeping visible while driving. If you are in the middle of a pull and you see your A/F ratio go lean, you know to get off the throttle before you blow your engine.
@@AndyKruseChannel fair enough. just that it clearly states in the manual of these a/f gauges that the sensors must be pointing down at about 45 degree angle.
Looking good Andy! The datalogging loom is a nice feature, should help with fine tuning in the future. Also, I like your radio block off plate; where's that from? May need to do that in my car since it's going to be...rowdy. 😜
@AndyKruseChannel Andy you are the only person on utub who gives back a thanks or reply, that means a lot to me because it means you have a honest character, God bless you and your family, stay strong.
@@mikebroszczak5767 Thank you for the kind remarks. I don't want to make excuses for other channels, but it is easy for me to reply with my relatively small channel. If I had a million subs, I simply would not have enough time to reply to every comment, regardless of wanting to give back and help my viewers and subs. I like helping people with their questions, and making how-to videos offers more info to the community than just vlogging about my trip to the grocery store. I can appreciate the need for entertainment here on TH-cam, but I'm not particularly entertaining so I offer what I can and that's tips and tricks for new parts and how to install them. :)
The tuner will lean out the cruise area. I am used to thinking in Lambda air fuel ratio because of the Harleys that I have data logged and street tuned Fuel injected of course. Nothing beats taking to a good tuner. Your car is turning out real sweet. If you can make any informative videos with your tuner process that would be really interesting to me.
@@AndyKruseChannel I have one on my car as well and it tunes the carb great, but looked on the internet and all it says is 14.7:1 ratio is perfect for idling and light throttle cruising conditions as it's the most efficient mixture possible, meaning the best fuel economy. But perhaps a different cam, or compression could be a richer mixture is needed? Learn something every day.
@@AndyKruseChannel OK , I have started on a 65 mustang coupe with the same 2V carb and manifold ,if you decide you want to get rid of it , I am interested.

Yeah, I thought it was ironic that you had that last video with you tuning your carb using the A/F Gauge, I thought you were reading my mind. :)
Awesome. Definitely another mod I want to do. Your hitting everything on my wish list. Great videos, keep at it 👍
Thanks 👍

Possibly, but you can feel the engine chug a little on a lean pull too, not to mention you can also hear it. :)
These are a great tuning tool. Have them on our cars. Really helps dialing in the squirters.
Yeah, I am hoping to get in for a Tune, but the clock seems to keep ticking. :)
i have a digital meter on mine. pretty sure you're supposed to have the sensor installed at the top facing downwards to avoid condensation drip.
Maybe, I'm just trusting that JBA knows how to build exhaust systems and they put the bungs where they need to be.
@@AndyKruseChannel fair enough. just that it clearly states in the manual of these a/f gauges that the sensors must be pointing down at about 45 degree angle.
And NOW you are ready for that electric power steering! :-)
Yes, much closer than I was last week. :)

That plate is a factory piece, you can find them on NPD and sometimes cheaper on eBay. :)
Great video Andy just what I am looking for to do thanks, cheers from Milton Mike
No problem 👍

That's where I put my radio. Glove box glory.
That's a good place for it when running stealth mode. :)
Good deal, hook up the light.
Maybe later, for now it's doing what I need it to do.

I want to but I don’t know how much he wants to be on camera.
Good job.nice car man it sounds good.
Appreciate it!
12.9 is ideal, watch Nicks garage, he dyno tunes engines and goes thru about air/fuel ratio .
Yeah, from what I've read, it seems like high 12s or low 13s is ideal. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel I'd like to put two on my hot rod, have the bungs, from having exhaust evac system im not using anymore.

Good video, What are you going to do with that intake and carb you took off the 847?
I have set it aside for now.

Can you do a video on leaky top loader?
Haha, that would be great, but I don't have a Top Loader to work on. :)
I have a autometer gauge but do not have the sensor...do you thing any standard sensor will work?
I think that's one of the reasons why these sensors are so standardized, so you can get one and plug it in. :)
Looks nice, why not just use a vacuum gauge?
Vacuum gauge does not tell me if I'm running rich or lean.
CANADIAN SUPERMAN APPROVES
Haha, thanks. :)
