Default Is this wrong?

I was looking at eBay when I found an auction that said this....

"This auction for a Factory Ford 70mm Mass Air Meter for '89/'93 Mustangs. This air meter is identical to the 1993 Mustang Cobra 70mm air meter except this is calibrated for 19lb/hr fuel injectors. This is a bolt on performance part. Nice Shape, fully functional."

So like I said, is this auction description wrong? Will it work with my injectors?

Well if you have 24# injectors like your sig says, then it will not work since it's calibrated for 19# injectors...

well, that's only 1/2 true. If you just plan on bolting it and driving away, then no. However, if you have a handheld tuner or if you are going to get it tuned then you can easily get it to work. It would be easier with a flowsheet (and some tuners may not touch it without one.)

One thing's for sure.. If you have a stock MAF but a 70mm TB, you need to at LEAST get a 70mm tb.

Yeah, I have a BBK 70mm tb, I was hoping on getting the X3Z Cobra computer along with the stock '93 Cobra MAF but I think plans have changed and now I'm just trying to find an A9* computer along with an MAF calibrated for 24# injectors. Will there be a noticeable difference between my original plans and my plans now?? BTW thanks for the help.

This is how I bought the car. As you can probably guess, an E303 Cam and 24# injectors doesn't run quite right on a Speed Density setup. Does anyone know if this has anything to do with the bad throttle response and popping and spitting when I quick rev it?

Ok well thats good in a way because I had gotten the impression that it was nearly impossible to run this setup so I was beginning to wonder whether I really had 24# injectors but this kind of clears things up. Thanks.
