the el-cheapo ones are not accurate except right near stochiometric value

the 500 one with the wide band...usually 5 wire....uego sensor is the one that works

Yeah, most 'A/F monitors' are just bling bling items.  If it costs less than $200, it's probably worthless. 

It have an Innovate LC-1 WBO2 sensor that I got new for ~$220.  It works well, but it's just the sensor/controller, so you need some way of monitoring it, either a gauge or a data logging device.  I use mine as an input to my engine management system and love it as it makes street tuning super easy. 

In all honestly though, it would be totally useless in a carb application and I wouldn't even bother hooking mine up to my GS unless I converted it to EFI.
