Hi,

I just bought a BBK Mass Air Meter (part number 8005) that matches my injectors, etc. The plug, however, doesn't match my stock mass air plug. The recepticle on the new MAM is wider and rectanglish. The stock plug is oval.

Is this a OBDI vs. OBDII issue??? Can someone point me to an adapter for this or did I just buy the wrong MAM?

Thanks so much!!!

I'm pretty sure you need an adaptor...on the mustangs unlimited website it shows the sensor and an adaptor next to it. You should be able to get one from bbk

Yeah I ran into that, it's a short connector you'll have to pick up

Thanks guys. Found a plug at ford which I had to solder in after cutting off the old plug.

Everything matches on the setup, but now I have a loud pop coming out of the intake in a very nice rhythm. Probably either a cam, valve, or rocker spring issue. I can't win as of late.

Your valve may not be closing all of the way causing a slight backfire. Did you mess w the rocker arms at all? Is the preload correct?

I pulled the valve covers off last night. One of the rocker arms was hand loose. The push rod end was bludgeoned. I am getting new push rods tomorrow and getting the rocker arm geometry checking tool to make sure I am running the right length rods.

Mass air meter works great, I think. I may be going down to 24 pound injectors while I am at it as 30's are overkill for my application. That means I may get another mass air tuned to 24 instead of 30lb. Never a dull moment.
