The Cyberdyn O2 gauge item # 39004 on the Eckler's Corvette page is
advertised to connect to the factory oxygen sensor.  The factory oxygen
sensors are usually narrow band units; this means the output goes from 0
to 1.0 volts full scale.  The oxygen sensor that Mark Langford shows on
his web site is a Bosch wide band sensor; the output goes from 0 to 5.0
volts full scale.  The Cyberdyn O2 gauge has no provision to change the
scale factor.  You have to use a wide band O2 sensor (Bosch 11027 or
equivalent)

with the Cyberdyn O2 gauge (Jegs 280-7009 or equivalent).

Two factors to consider: All O2 sensors, either narrow band or wide
band, are high impedance devices.  The sensors are quite sensitive to
loading by whatever meter is used to read the output voltage.  A
miss-matched meter and O2 sensor will not produce accurate reading
results.  The second factor is: The narrow band O2 sensors have a sharp
transition in output going from full lean to full rich and back.  This
slam-bang output response is fine for a computer controller system
making mixture changes at 5 to 10 times a second.  No way can any human
paw on a manual mixture control keep up with that narrow band response.
The wide band O2 sensors have a smooth more linear response much more
suitable for human control.

Anybody ever found an O2 Gauge that can actually be seen in the cockpit 
in
bright sunlight, like the standard pressure and temperature gauges?

Try this. May be the same one Mark L uses, but it's from Eckler's 
Corvette
