MAP sensor installation on TPI, MAF conversion
I looked around to see where other people placed their MAP sensors on a MAF conversion. Some placed them on the firewall, others laid them on the wiring harness.
We made a small stainless bracket to place it in the void on the TPI plenum before the distributor cover. This still hides the MAP sensor but has it accessible. The bracket is attached to the distributor cover (aluminum, not plastic).

Neither: It is an alternative fuel. California is shooting for zero emissions through hydrogen power. Here in Ohio, we are converting timber to charcoal.
It is ignited to burn slowly, and the fumes are drawn in by the engine vacuum to be fired in the combustion chambers. This was developed by Germany during WWII, near the end of the war, when their gasoline stocks were depleted.
The patents were purchased by the oil companies after the war to keep the price of oil up. The government has recently nationalized these patents, to drop the price of oil in the near east in the public interest. Ohio, being the true technological center of the country, was chosen to develop it. Please do not pass this information on for national security. :crazy:
Since the distributor is not installed, and even though there is a rag there, with my coordination those small torx screws would be be drawn by a galactic spiral vortex to drop in that hole. I'm surprized that even though the 4x4 is three times larger than the hole, that it didn't end up in there!

Nice and clean! I once had it attached to the inside of the fuel rail, but was unsure about getting a good signal, so semi-permanently mounted it higher up on the firewall. Your's looks like it was meant to be. :thumbs:

Wow that's pretty cool. How does that standup to the HP claims of the cold fusion mods? I've heard there's drawbacks due to creosote buildup on the exhaust valves limiting the scavanging affect.
