Default First time mustang owner

So guys, I've made a few threads about mustangs, I still haven't owned one yet. My friend (pipermike) came accross this one on ebay, it seems like an amazing deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1988-...QQcmdZViewItem

Might be a dumb question but where is the MAF on that car?

I looked at that car last night on Ebay. I needs a good bit of work, but I have brought home a lot worse. Oh and Irish5.0 itis a Speed Density car.

I would have to think about it. Or wait till it ends, then contact the buyer and buy it in person so you can hear it run and maybe get a better price.

The auction ended with no bidders, which is good I guess. Maybe I'll be able to buy it when it's re-listed for cheaper.

you might want to hold out and try to find a mass air car , speed density is kinda tricky to work with for your first 5.0, but if you are set on it i wouldn,t go more than 1k their info on the car is pretty vauge

ORIGINAL: Irish5.0

Might be a dumb question but where is the MAF on that car?

It is a 1988 which are speed desity so it will not have a MAF. With SD cars the computer uses the throttle position and the RPM's instead of using a MAF.
