I installed one on a 67 plus 4 Morgan sometime back and found it to be
worst than useless. It took me a couple of hours to get the carbs reset
and running correctly after following the indications from the analyzer.
However what I have found that works great is to install EGT gauges.
These monitor the exhaust gas temp and provide a good indication of the
fuel/air mixture throughout the engine RPM range. I use them on my Lotus
6 and my Lotus 7. I prefer the dual gauge with a probes in number 1 and
number 4 exhaust pipes.

Seems like but there are issues that make these less than perfect for
what you are considering. There are two articles on O2 sensors on this
page that you'll find interesting. http://gracieland.org/cars/techtalk/
