on my 87. I got the MAF itself, and the plug on top, just cut the wires leading to it. The computer located in the passenger kick panel and the big plug on it, again just cutting the wires. Do I need anything else?

There should be a jumper plug in there somewhere too. What wires are you cutting? I don't think anything needs to be chopped, but I don't remember... it's been a long time.

You will also want the mass air bracket that bolts the maf to the fenderwell. Plus you need the short rubber inlet tube that runs from the airbox to the maf and the longer tube that runs from the maf to the t body.

You shouldn't have chopped any wires to remove the MAF itself.. you need the wiring harness that you just wrecked in that car.

But im pretty sure thats all you need... mass air unit+sensor + computer + harness.

BTW. You don't *need* the bracket that holds the MAF down, many people here on stangnet including myself have the "floating maf" without the bracket, no troubles with that.

MASS air conversion instructions from http://www.stangnet.com/tech/maf/massairconversion.html 70MM MAF from 94-95 Mustang GT - $40-$70
MASS Air wiring harness kit $30-$85

Want a 80 MM MAF from the junkyard 'cause 70 MM's too small? See http://www.pro-flow.com/old files/apchart.htm and find an 80 MM MAF that matches you injectors. You might have to swap the MAF's plastic electrical connector, but a safety pin and 10 minutes worth of effort makes that an easy job.
