Default Mat Sensor Relocation

Anybody know where I can find a MAT sensor relocation kit for an 89 L98? All I can seem to locate is a kit from Lingenfelter, but that is for an Impala. Any leads would be appreciated!

Been a while but think I got mine from MAM; the cable was long enough to easily reach the side of the air intake and had black spiral wrap so it blended in along the LH fender well...

Every time there is post like this I always wonder what is wrong with just extending the wires yourself. I had wire but if you don't you can get some for much less cost then a kit.

I relocated the MAT on mine since I ported the plenum and it stuck up in front of the back port.



With the right size drill bit the sensor actually makes threads, I put some RTV on them to help also. The wire runs along with the MAF and is tough to see.

Thanks for the info! I think I will extend my own wires. Why pay all that for just a few more feet of stuff.

TPIS also has one of these with a cool, lightweight sensor. pops right in the air box and comes with a new lead. i also like the above idea since....it's cheap !

I did it and considered it a bit like the TB coolant bypass, i.e. more of a "convenience" factor when doing any R&R up top.
