MAF question
just bought a new MAF, the first thing i noticed is the MAF does not have wires in it like the orig. but rather a circuit board.
Is this a newer type replacement to the original?
it is for a 87

Re: MAF question (LarryK 87)
Good question. I was wondering the same thing myself. I just picked one up for my 87 from Vette2Vette and it doesn't have the wire in it. I bought one 3 years ago and that one had the wire in it along with the bad one that originally came with the car.

Mine is labeled as a "well SU-145" GM PN 14094712, brand new ( got it on E-Bay for 55.00 )

Re: MAF question (LarryK 87)
Believe it or not, I still have the one that pooped out on me 3 years ago. :crazy: All 3 are with the car in the shop. I'll look at the #'s tonight and see if I can tell anything from there. The circuit board you speak of, it looks like a blade? If so, then that's the type I just got then. I didn't get a real good look to notice it was a circuit board, I was just looking to make sure the wire wasn't broke. That's when I noticed the blade shape and thought, "At least the wire isn't broke." :lol:

It's fine. That unit is made by Wells Mfg. I tried one on my 383 which didn't work too well but it seems that most people who have used it on this borad have done so successfully.

Re: MAF question (LarryK 87)
Anybody got pictures of one these. I curious to know if this design still uses the front and rear screens with the enormous heat sink as with the original.

Re: MAF question (LarryK 87)
nope, looks like a circuit board, rectangular has a heat sink hanging out into the airflow stream. Resistors near the bottom (MAF Tube Body)
