Did your gauge come with some type of sensor and or a bung to weld into your exhaust for mounting it? Post up what you have.
Is it just an AF gauge or a wideband?

The only AFR guage worth fooling with is a wideband,you'll need to add a bung into your exhaust pipe to mount the wideband o2 sensor near your front narrowband o2 sensor.I prefer mounting the guage on a pillar mounted pod.Or you can unscrew a stock o2 sensor if you don't plan on perminently mount the wideband o2.

To be honest, I would not waste your time with that non-wideband model. It taps off your existing narrow band O2's and will not read accurately outside of the 14-15 range. Save a few bucks and buy a wideband, your engine will thank you for it!

I also agree with ktmrider, buy a wide band.
