exhaust gas analyzers

[fahrvergnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

They do run off the car battery...   It would take a little finagling, but yes you could...  The sniffer inlet he had welded to a pair of vicegrips which kept it in the exhuast pipe, so you will have to route a hose to inside the cabin as well as a pos. and neg for its' power, that is it...

  Can you use them while you are driving.  I would like to program the entire spectrum of RPM's and load. HeHe

    They make several lo-buck tools that work fine.  No recommendation of where
    to find them online at all...
