Yes, that's where I got one of my A9L's. You will need any EEC-IV core for the exchange. They don't have them in stock, but can get one in a few days. They are all rebuilt by Carbone, no matter who you get it from. I've got a new one in the exchange box, which they forgot to keep. I gave them the exchange when I placed the order. The exchange used to be worth $20.Ok I got you. So just to be safe about everything im just gonna use a manual trans, manual o2 harness, and A9L comp. Id prefer as less of a head ache as I can. Also in one of my earlier posts, can I just go to Autozone and buy a EEC from there for an '89?
The '86, '87, '88 don't have the MAF connector either. '88 Cali does have it....Maybe I have an '89 harness then. But like I said I know its not '87 because '87 doesn't have the MAF sensor connector. Its also a 4 pin MAF connector not 5 pin if that helps.
Ok...well if its an '88 California, the '88 EEC should still work with it right. I'm gonna have to check and see if I can match up wires from the diagram that you posted to what's on my car now. That's the only way to tell what I have. I just haven't gotten around to it yetThe '86, '87, '88 don't have the MAF connector either. '88 Cali does have it.
Yeah that's who it said rebuilt them. And now the exchange is like $45 but im just gonna play it safe and keep my SD EEC just invade something doesn't work...I know for sure I can revert back to that. Last and easiest option would be to go carb, but that's what everyone in my area does. I'm trying to be different and keep the injection. I know this question has probably been asked before...but how much of an engine modification will the new '89 EEC that I get adapt to before having to tune it? Example like cam, heads, throttle body. Stuff like that.Yes, that's where I got one of my A9L's. You will need any EEC-IV core for the exchange. They don't have them in stock, but can get one in a few days.

Sorry, you're wrong. Look at my drawing for '88, there's only 4-pins on the MAF. Fox body used 4-pin MAFS '88-'93.
Hey Blown, the diagram is only gonna show the wires that's used, not the connector itself. I checked my wires and the colors don't match up to your schematic, the color wires that I have are Tan/Org, Blu/Yel, Red, Blk. Your pic shows DrkBwn/Org, Tan/LtBlu, Red, Blk. No disrespect, I appreciate all your help, but im gonna have to side with lilJoe on this one as far as the harness year goes. Like I said I appreciate your help with everything though.Sorry, you're wrong. Look at my drawing for '88, there's only 4-pins on the MAF. Fox body used 4-pin MAFS '88-'93.
That's what I've been saying. That's not a pic of an '88 MAF connector.That is what I was referring to. The connector on mine is a 4 pin, 4wire. I have seen some connectors that are a 5 pin, 4 wire, but mines not one of those.
If your talking about my picture, then you are still wrong.That's not a pic of an '88 MAF connector.
Any Opinion is good. Ive already bought a Tweecer (similar tor your QH) and love the though of it with my DA1. The problem is like you said, I dont know what Im doing at all when it comes to setting up the VE Tables (and a few other tables). Thats the table that controls the Air/Fuel Mixture if I remember right. The only extra money im really gonna be putting in to it would be for the computer itself. I can get it from AutoZone through a friend for about $110 bucks with no core. I already have a harness with everything I need to pretty much just be plug n play. Plus the Tweecer Chip I have will work with the new EEC I get as well. It should be easier to tune because it is MAF. Thanks for the input.If I may offer an opinion.. Instead of doing the mass air conversion, why not spend that money on a tuneable chip instead? I mean, I still can't use mine worth a crap, but I'm glad I bought it as now I can see what it's doing (once again, have no idea what I'm looking at, but the ABILITY is there..). QH and what not work with the DA1 correct? Since i bought this QH, kind of wishing I didn't go through the trouble of a MAF if I could have just had the ability to tune it anyways!
Im curious about your post...Is the intentions of it about the " T " connector for the new Maf sensor or about the ACT sensor location. My car is an '87, ive determined that the wiring harness is an '89. I know I previously thought it was an '88 but I was wrong on that. The harness I have now already has a Maf wiring harness built into it. Every pin that I would of had to move around or add with an original '87 harness, are already in their respective places. The EEC Im going to use is going to be from an '89 as well.http://www.foureyedpride.com/vb/album.php?albumid=1526&pictureid=11821
4 wires
'86-'93 had ACT sensor on top of lower intake
When it was moved to the air box, connector went to 6 wires.

I'm the original owner of my '88, so I know it didn't come with any mods. I bought all the manuals within the first few months, the EVTM being the one I use the most. The first mod I did was change the speedometer from 85mph to 140mph, with less than 1000 miles on the car. A couple years later came the conversion kit, because the damn car would never idle right. There were no other options back then, it was Ford or nothing. The kit was in the car until last year when it was removed & sold.Im curious about your post...Is the intentions of it about the " T " connector for the new Maf sensor or about the ACT sensor location.

The ACT link you posted was about the guy using a 1995 Mustang GT with a 1990 A9L EEC. His problem was that on the '95 he had, the ACT sensor was in the intake tubing before the throttle body and after the Maf sensor. It wouldnt work right with the A9L in that location. I double checked to be on the safe side and went to look at my car. The reason I did that is because I have an Aftermarket BBK Upper and Lower intake. Wanted to make sure that when I did the intake swap that there was actually a place for the ACT and I just didnt leave it off. The ACT sensor was right were it is suppose to be on the lower intake on the driver side.
If there is a splice, you might never see it, depending where the splice was made. They are only necessary if you have a code reader which will show a problem doesn't exist. I only got the code reader a couple years ago. The "bad codes" could have been there for 20 years. IIRC, the Ford OBD-I reader was $25 + $25 for the extension cable.I get what what your saying. When I get a chance I'll take some pics of the harness. The reason I say it was fully replaced and not modified is because I dont see any cut or splicing of wires. Every wire that goes to the EEC is the color it is suppose to be. The MAF connector I have it the oval shaped 4 pin. I think we're on the same page. But the only thing I have to do is get an EEC and try it out. I know there's a few other things I'll need to do. I need to get a 70mm Maf sensor, readjust my tps sensor, readjust my IAC, and adjust my timing. I'm not to sure what timing I'm gonna need since I'm not using the stick cam anymore. I'll figure that out when I get there though. I'll check out those links you posted up and search for that mustang you mentioned as well.
