    Wideband works the same in carb'd cars as it does in efi cars.

    You can get one with one sensor or with two that will read both banks.

    i suggest getting one, look up 14point7.com for a cheap JAW controller, it's a wideband O2 that you can have built or build it yourself and save money, it comes with a cool readout too. In the future i'll ditch this air/fuel ratio guage(it only has colors that go in a 3/4 circle, green is good, yellow rich and red lean..), good luck and the JAW controller requires 2 if you want to read both banks, the O2 sensors you can buy from them or at a parts store, but 7t9cobra found it cheaper to buy from them than schucks(even the cheaper online price) or any other local parts store

    noooooo. its more expensive to buy from shucks. its $130 a pop!!! you can do a JAW or an LC1. the jaw is better IMO and a lot cheaper. you can buy the JAW from 14point7.com or you can buy the LC1 from diyautotune.com. the cheapest place i found for the sensors was on diyautotune.com. i bought an MS2 v3.0, harness, mod kits, and the 02 sensor from them and i highly reccomend them. excellent service, products, pricing and fast shipping. couldnt have been a better purchase. like said above, you can run just one, but i would reccomend 2 on a v-8. you'll be able to tune your carb. perfect on both sides.

    Good luck tuning just one side on a holley... edelbrocks are a different story but there isn't a reason the jetting should be different left to right.. i'm just doing one wideband because i'm cheap like that
