Very simple. Tap into the purple wire under the hood leading to the passenger side 02 sensor. Ground is easy and for power i tapped into the stereo lead or you can plug into the fuse bolck radio or any switched power.

All the AutoMeter instructions are available online:

http://hp.autometer.com/instruction_...tions/837j.pdf

You can go to pins C8 and C20 in the gray PCM connector and choose either the purple, or purple/white wire, depending on which side sensor you want to monitor. You could add a single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) switch and be able to choose which sensor to display.

Splice into the vehicle harness wiring, NOT into the sensor wires.

When you get all done, you will have a bunch of LED's that flash back and forth, and are mainly annoying. When you go WOT, it will simply show "rich", and the sensors aren't accurate enough at WOT to tell you any more than that.
