Don't even bother. Like they said above, it is a hit or miss kinda thing. I got my hands on an 87 IROC that was hit lightly on the right side. I decided to put that MAF in because my connector was slightly broken. Although it had 22000 miles on it, that MAF was no good from sitting outside in the elements. I think a company named Wells (not quite sure if the comany is correct) makes a new MAF with a circuit board inside instead of the 3 heated wires. You get more CFM and it is a better quality and will last a lot longer.
