Default c+l airmeters

which way does the calibration tube face in the air meter? Does the angled part face the motor or the airfilter? My car has an eratic idle and stalls sometimes and I can't figure it out. I can't find any vacum leaks and my fuel pressure is at 40psi. Thanks in advance.

Angled part towards the air filter. Have you done the basic idle tuneup?

I have adjusted the idle and the tps and have the timing at 13 degrees.

I'll bet you 90% of the people on this forum agree with me. Why would you buy a MAF that works with"most" people? That's retarded. Would you buy it if in their description it said "It only works 10 percent of the time, but you will only pay50 percent of the price of a realMAF!". It's like buying a powerdyne, some work great with no problems, but most of them are junk and everybody knows that.

I don't want to argue, but I know of a lot of people who have had good things to say about them.
