Sounds like just the unit I'm looking for.  Got part #'s, car models, years
used etc. to facilitate a junkyard search?  I had no idea GM was still using
a frequency output MAF.

BTW, as far as air flow measurement, you could always dangle it out the window
of your favorite ride, and drive down the nearest interstate at 130+ MPH like
Peter Wales did!  ;]   Seriously, this may be a simple way to check how high
the output goes.  Just go until the output equals your best previous reading,
and keep going...  (Could always see if you can get a surplus JATO bottle if
your ride won't go fast enough :O)  Disclaimer: This should only be
attempted by professional drivers on closed roads...
