Title: Mass air( not typical question)
Post by: droptop93 on July 19, 2010, 11:50:35 PM

Has anyone used the plug & play harness that sandwhichs between EEC and EEC connecter to do mass air conversion? Once adapter is sandwhiched between EEC & connecter, the mass air harness plugs into the adapter.

I aquired one today and if it will work on the bird, that will be nice. That way when I do get ready to more mods later, wont haev to worry about cam selection. Plus have a stock meter and A9P laying around to do conversion with.

Here is picture of sandwhich type harness I am refering to..

You only need to splice in 4 wires.

I installed one of those about 20 years ago or so on an 88 mustang .
It worked well and was very easy to install :D

Motor not in yet, got it on stand now waiting for trans to come back. Figured since everthing was out get tranny freshened, since my kids will be driving car most of time. Person building it is install Baunam shift kit. He does that as part of standard build proceedures. Going to drop motor and tranny in as one, when it comes back.

I have an HO cam, but think I am going to run the explorer cam to see how it will perform. After talking to a couple guys on Corral that have used the explorer cam, figured I would give it a shot. Worse come to worse will swap it later, with aftermarket siince I have mass air waiting. And by then my son should be use to driving and get him wrenchin on motor.

True. It took me all of 30 minutes to do mine.

The connector should work fine. The harness in a T-bird is basically pinned the same as a 5.0 Mustang harness.

Yes it will work(have one around here someplace), it does not address the need to relocate the TAB & TAD connections or have a connection for the fuel pump monitor circuit... I recommend as others suggested, add the wiring to your current harness...

Ive done the 4 wire adpater years ago on an 88 mustang I had. But since I already have the kit pictured above, figured I go that route it if works.
