Re: MAF delete?

85-89 TPI cars use a MAF sensor. 90-92 TPI cars use a MAP sensor mounted on the side of the plenum, not a MAF sensor. You're probably seeing 90-92 TPI cars, right?

You can convert your system to a 90-92 style by following the tech article on this website.

Re: MAF delete?

It really depends on your situation. Do you want to get rid of the MAF for looks, or for tuning reasons?

Swapping to the 90-92 speed density setups can be expensive.
