Hello,
        Its very easy to add an O2 sensor.  If you buy an autometer gauge
it comes with everything you need.  The sensor will come with a weldable
bung.  You have to drill like a 3/4 hole in the exhaust pipe then weld the bung
in and screw the sensor in.  If you use a 4 wire self heating model you can 
put the sensor anywhere along the exhaust pipe.  But, before you do that
you have to make sure you don't have ANY leaks in the system.  No leaky
flex pipe, or joints in the system or leaky exhaust gasket.  If you do the
sensor will read nonsense....ask me how I know this....
