That was probably me that advised a member he could do it. This tip came straight from Gordon Killebrew when I was discussing my problems with my '85. He verified it was the MAF and told me to get the newer one.

You can also use a Gen III camaro MAF, works the same, there was also a post a while back that listed parts that could be inter-mingled... Search, advanced, include "archive posts" in the search request...

'87-'88-'89 are all the same I do believe. I just stated '88 because my poor memory couldn't come up with the years GK told me I could use. I've had the newer MAF in my car now over 4 years with no issues whatsoever.
