Larry,

I have one in my X1/9.  They really are all the same.  You could buy the
Edelbrock one, but you can also go cheaper.  Buy a generic heated O2
sensor and the LED type gauge from Summit Racing for $20 or $30 (can't
remember).  Then buy an anti-foul spark plug adapter from the HELP section
of your car parts stor and cut half of it off to use a a "bung" to mount
the sensor.

You DO need a heated type (3 wire) sensor for accuracy.
