Seems to me that when guys do the MAF conversion and the MAP becomes a BAP, you'd just leave the sensor uncapped (so it senses atmospheric pressure).

I did the convertion not to long ago. They say there is a difference with the two sensors, But they do look same, and both have the vacuum ports. When you purchase a 89-93 map sensor it will include a little rubber grommet to prevent a vacum line going on. When I did the switch over I went ahead and bought the new sensor it cost about 40$.

With the car running I simply switched between the old to the new sensor I could tell a difference in the idle qaulity. It seemed to idle better with the calibrated sensor.
