you want to hook it to the first o2 sensor, if you are going to connect it there. there should be two black wires for the heater part, and either a blue or white wire for the signal.

If you want the signal, then I would say only one.

That guage sucks, it jumps all around like a bug. Team Omni has a great one that uses 4 L.E.D.'s that doesn't jump around it stays off until you get on it then displays the air/fuel with 4 lights.
