[Diy_efi] weatherpack connectors or something like them

[gassr]

A lot of people confuse weather-pack with metri-pack. FAIK, GM
OEM is largely metri-pack. Two sources to check for metri-pack 
are Waytek or Del City. Power and Signal, a delphi supplier, is an 
excellent source for just about any metri-pack component on GM 
vehicles, along with GT series, micro-pack, and Ducon. They require 
a minimum quantity however. For those that keep a stockroom of 
various connectors, they would be my first choice. As you have 
discovered, GM itself has a spotty selection. 

Rick, first would be to correctly identify your OEM MAF, then 
compare that with the popular metri-pack specs, and go from there. 
I'm confident it is not weather-pack. Hoped this helped some.
