Default gauge question

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what type of controller I will need to install an O2 sensor on a '74 BB with side headers.

I want to install an A/F ratio gauge, but need an O2 sensor and thus some type of controller for the O2 sensor to work in the first place.

If you buy one of the gauge and sensor kits, it will work out of the box. You just need someone to weld in the bung, or use their installation strap to secure it.

I highly recommend going with a wide-band unit, as these will tell you much more about your mixture at different points in the powerband.

Is any one manufacturer better than the next for wide band units?

Does it matter which exhaust header you install the O2 sensor to?

Thank You
