I'm about to wire up my EFI kit and since there is no mini display I'd like to use my 3rd party wideband o2 gauge when I don't feel like setting up the laptop. I'm looking for ideas on discrete locations for single cup type mounts. I've seen a few folks who've yanked out the radio, but trying to keep the interior relatively stock looking. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I thought about that. My one concern is that while my buddy is driving the car, I will be tuning the car in the passenger seat. I'm 6'2 and barely squeeze into the passenger side, so I'm concerned the glove box won't open. I'm not near my car so I can't go out and readily check that. But that was my first thought, a small mount like shown below and using some double stick tape so I'm not drilling into the glove box. I may go that route regardless as I will have a separate wideband if I'm tuning, less pertinent the driver is watching at the same time. Thank you.

You might consider using a small tablet and Bluetooth. There are processing packages that allow you to process analog signals and software for display choices. You can mount it or set it on a sand bag and then it just goes along for the ride when you want it too.

Question for you on your other post. What's the grind on your solid bump stick?

Best,

...I have often thought of mounting a 'Multi-Function' Digital Gauge(Dakota Digital), on a Plate, in the Center of the Steering Wheel! With a Dimming Capability. There is plenty of room in the Hub. You would have to drill a hole at the base, for the Leads to pass through, and secure them for Rotation. Corse, would only be Readable in 'Straight-Line' Cruising.
Some great ideas, thanks everyone. I had an elaborate analog gauge setup in one of my other cars and I like the nastalgic factory gauge look. Just my personal taste, but don't want to ruin that aesthetic with modern gauges. After some basic tuning I would just like to reference A/F while driving so I can go back later through the logs and confirm any changes. Otherwise the factory gauges will suffice. I'd like to keep anything out of the area for my knees and legs because I fit pretty tight as it is. I think I'm going to just go the glove compartment route, that way any prying eyes may believe the car is mostly stock appearing through the windows.
