It should plug right in to your '88.. did the same thing to mine, like 2 bolts i think. Took me 2 hours for the entire Mass Air conversion! Hope your car's an auto because otherwise the comp won't work..

That's a hard offer to pass up. What exactly is the harness part of the conversion needed and can it be fabbed???

i plan on just using 4 wires to run to the comp from the MAF and from the tech article it look like i slice two existing wires and soder a conection in and have to plug in the two remaining wires using pins that go into two slots that are unused...

It is an easy install. All you need is the plug for the mass air. There are 4 wires to connect.
(1) Lead A, Red: Tap into wire at pin #37 or #57. Already in use at computer.
(2) Lead B, Black: Tap into wire at pin #40 or #60. Already in use at computer.
(3) Lead C, Tan/Blue: Add new pin at the empty ECM connector location marked #9. This is the sensor signal.
(4) Lead D, Blue/Orange: Add new pin at the empty ECM connector location marked #50. This is the sensor return.

Move Pin #11 to empty hole #32
Move Pin #51 to empty hole #38

Use 16 gauge wire. Try to use different colors to make the install as simple as you can.

All of the pins are numbered at the wire side of the ECM connector.

If you need to get some new pins you can go to any junkyard and cut them off just about any ford computer controlled car or truck.

Good Luck!
