[Diy_efi] weatherpack connectors or something like them

Mon Apr 16 11:35:03 UTC 2007

You could also do like those of us did for out MAF to MAP conversions that we wanted to be reversible. For the MAP sensor we made a small harness that had a jack on one end made from an old MAF Sensor. We got busy with a hacksaw and soldering iron and butchered the old MAF for just its Metri-Pak jack. That's IF you have access to an old MAF.

>>Therefore, I'm looking for both M and F, what I'm trying to do is create a

>>Thanks as always.
