Default Mass Air Flow Sensor

I am replacing the Mass Air Flow Sensor on my 85.. Should I go back with a stock one ( Having a hard time finding the bosch-- all I have found is the AC Delco ) how much trouble is to change brands from Bosch to an AC Delco or can I upgrade it??? If I do up grade what kind should I go with?

Thanks,
$300vett

I just put a remanufactured one in mine ($180) and it worked great, looks like they rebuild the circutry, and you just exchange the core (housing). Don't know the longevity of these, but I think a new GM unit is around $600.

NAPA, you'll get a "reman" Bosch unit. In an Echlin box, most likely...

Thanks-- Took the MAF off and cleaned it--runs alot better-- still has a noticable miss-- Found somebody to hook it up and a code 33-MAF sensor or circuit to high came up--- Ordered the new MAF-- wandering if I should go ahead and change the EGR valve??

The MAF and burn-off relays may also do this, NAPA sells them I think they were $12.

The 85s didn't come equiped with the maf power and maf burn off relays. The control is a module equiped to the computer i believe.
