al the good MAF sensors for cheap that I see on ebay are all for fox-bodies, I know there is the flange on ours, but can they work?

it would work but you would have to figure out a way to put it on the pipe, our cars have a 4 bolt flang that bolts up and the foxes dont have that, they just are striaght.

Thats cause for every one of our cars there are at least 25 Fox Stangs out there...............check that...............most likely 100 to 1, lol.

Anyway

You can always cut off the flange.

More easier to rig up a cai without the flange anyway.

FLANGE! ...... We Don't NEED no Stinkin Flange

are you guys sure you can swap meters? c&l has different sample tubes for 87-93 and 94-95 for their meters, the sn95 meter is bigger, if it has the same physical electronics, then the computer calibrates it differently? or is the "sample tube" in the sn95 meter's hole larger?

Plug it in, I would assume?
Just have to figure out how to mount it in the intake tubes, and it'll work.

i thought the reason why you need a different tube is because of the different computer which would make me think they are not interchangeable. you might be right about it being the size difference.

the 87-93 meter is the same as the 94-95. When I ordered my C&L the order sheet said 87-93, I called and they said it was the same thing. As long as your sample tube is for the right injectors then it will be fine.

yea Physically the meter is the same, but the calibration of the electronics is different. read this chart and tell me the meters are interchangable. i just called c&l but they are not open yet. ill ask them because i need to know cause im switching from a 88 to a 94 with 30 lbs. maybe the old electronics and the red tube will work, i gotta see.

so then if a pro-m is cal. for 24# on a fox, i can take that and change nothing but figuring out how to mount it to the intake tube and it will work like normal?

the calibration tube I had for mine was Red and I had #30 Injectors. But there is no application on that sheet for sample tubes being red and going w/ #30 injectors...weird

just got off the phone with c&l. said electroniscs have to be switched AND the tube has to be changed from fox-94. i am wondering though, if i can just keep the old electronics and the maf electronics were calibrated in the 94 for the 70mm but gives the same voltage at the same flow. i have both electronics, so i may buy the correct tube for my 94-30# setup, then try the fox-30# setup and datalog it with my tweecer rt as far as maf voltage to see if they are different. hmmmm....
