MAF conversion
I posed this question before but I want to ask in a different way. My car was bought wrecked. It was smacked pretty hard in the front. First of all, it is a 2000 model vert with separate maf and air temp sensors. Now then, the maf plug was ripped from the main wiring harness and the sensor was destroyed. I have since bought a "new" front clip.....I think it was from a 2002. I now have the bigger maf with the temp sensor built in along with the bigger airbox, air bridge, etc. Someone already told me I could buy a "pigtail" from gm to adapt the new sensor over to my harness but I'm a 12-volt technician by trade and it would be simple for me to "hard wire" the new 5-wire harness (which I already have) into my existing harness. Is this the same thing as putting the pigtail adapter on or is it possible to do this without the added expense of ordering a pigtail converter?

I've got the plug-an-play adapter to convert the old wiring to the new 85MM MAF's if you need and I'll sell for cheap. Email me at: dtsngit@bellsouth.net.
