The O2 sensor can be usefull on a Carburated engine even with the

fluctuations.  It can be used for checking wide open throttle mixture which

is quite critical to proper performance.  It should be quite steady at that

point.  You can also use it for idle and/or cruse conditions to set a good

mixture.  Any where in between is effected by the nonlinearity of the cars

Power valve system.
