OK, you could teach me a thing or two.

I've always wanted a way to indicate the mixture at any given moment. My van does not have a wide band oxy sensor though so the easy way is out. I have not been able to find the BSFC chart on my engine. For now I have to just wing it and guess at best throttle position. I have a vacuum gauge that I have to hook up again which I suppose would be the simplest if I knew at what point it started to enrich.

Ideas?
