I am currently doing the Maf conversion on my 87 gt. I wanted to know if there is a Maf sensor for this housing since it does not come with it, and these apparently come tuned? Which my other question. How is this since there is no electronics? I really dont want to purchase an aftermarket air meter and Maf assembly to remove and put on this one. Any help will be appreciated 1 answer

• Gabe, You must utilize a factory MAF sensor. That is why there is no electronics and no ture needed. The sample tube size basically tricks the computer into thinking it's running 19lbs injectors now matter what size you really are using a factory sensor.

I presently have a 76 mm c n l meter housing that is calibrated for 19 lb., can this be changed to 24 lb. Or do I need a whole new meter housing? Thank you in advance for your consideration, Patrick. 1 answer

• When using the C&L 76mm MAF Upgrade Kit (89-93 5.0L, Excludes Cobra). You should be able to just replace it the housing that is calibrated for the different sized injectors. Unfortunately, American Muscle does not carry these replacement housings.

I installed this on my 89 5.0. Basic bolt on car. Now it is surging and even dying. Would i need to adjust the timing? Before it was running great. I removed battery cable as required to reset computer. But it still surges. Or would re-gapping spark plugs(currently 45 degrees)be something i need to do. Underdrive pulleys, BBK shorty headers, BBK off-road H-pipe, screamin demon coil, 9mm spark plugs, Cervine True ram air hood/kit, smog pump delete, and just re-routed belt. Just want it to run like it did before i replaced factory maf tube. Thanks 1 answer

• After installing the C&L 76mm MAF Upgrade Kit (89-93 5.0L, Excludes Cobra), you should not need to make any timing adjustments. From the information that you have supplied, it does sound like a vacuum leak. Make sure that the clamps are tight around the couplers to make sure there is no air loss. If the problem still occurs, please get in contact with one of our Mustang Experts by following the link below. This way we can find out exactly what is going on and get the problem solved right away! http://www.americanmuscle.com/contact.html

Is this a conversion kit for a 87 mustang to convert from Speed Density to MAF? 1 answer

• This is not a conversion kit, this is a MAF upgrade kit for the 1989-1993 Mustangs and will only work with that year range.

Having trouble finding just the upper intake elbow that will fit my 70mm throttle body. do I have to buy a whole new cold air kit or can I just buy the upper elbow without the maf ? 1 answer

• In this case you will just want to stretch the coupler that is included with this kit to fit over the larger throttle body, or you can go to any local auto parts store to purchase a larger coupler.

Does this include a new mass air sensor? If not, how can it be calibrated for different injectors? 1 answer

• The sensor itself is not included in the C&L 76mm MAF Upgrade Kit (89-93 5.0L, Excludes Cobra). The way it calibrates is actually pretty interesting. If you take a look at the first three pictures on the product page you will notice the housing has a smaller tube on the end of the housing that the sensor will be attaching to. That tube manipulates the airflow so the sensor responds properly so even if the sensor itself isn't calibrated, the airflow is adjusted accordingly by the time the sensor has anything to read.

I currently have this installed and connected to the stock air box. My question is what options do i have to get that stock air box out of there. Should i just swap it out for the bbk cold air intake kit? Thanks 1 answer

• Hi, I suggest using the K&N FIPK Cold Air Intake Item #92009 with this C&L 76mm MAF Upgrade Kit and you can either keep or get rid of you'r factory air box. Here is the link http://www.americanmuscle.com/kn-cai-8993v8.html

Use with existing Cold Air Intake? I have an existing SR Performance CAI and I was wondering how this would pair up with it since this comes with its own pipe. Would this kit be applicable with the CAI or would it be suggested to just get the MAF w/o the kit? Thanks 1 answer

• You could use kit . Or just the maf housing. But from experience I would buy a maf meter from pro m racing my car ran better with a pro m over the c&l housing because of the meter is calibrated beter. But in the long run you get what u you pay for. Spend hu your money and get a pro m.
