Re: lt1 MAF sensor in a GenI small block? will it work?
You can build a D/A converter to scale the LT1 MAF frequency output to an analog voltage signal which the '88 ECM can use.
You can remove the '88 ECM and install a LT1 PCM, but will need to install an optical array for crankshaft position signaling (like the OptiSpark distributor does).
You can sell the LT1 MAF to an unsuspecting buyuer and use the correct Bosch analog MAF with your ECM.
Or, you can use the LT1 MAF as an interesting paper weight.
