Default 80mm Lmaf w/ obd-1
Has anyone here used a 80mm Lightning maf on there 5.0? If so what did you do about connectors being different?

I would order the plug and play one from IST. It is only $20 more than the adapter requiring soldering, and allows you to return to a regular OBD-I mass air in seconds. Its what I use for running the 90mm LMAF and works great, plus I never like the idea of cutting up my stock harness.

I'll be hacking up my stock harness for the free connector I snagged at the local PAP.

That meter will require a custom tune though...
