Maybe I'm confused or jumping to conclusions here, but is this implying
that the quality control from the Blue Oval factory is so bad that the maps
for a SD system would have to be individually tailored to EACH car coming
from the factory to keep A/F correct?  Thus, a MAF system was needed to make up
for manufacturing tolerences?

Ed H, any insight?
