Mass Air question
I was just looking on carparts.com and this is what I saw:
1994-1996 Ford F-SeriesPickup, Full Size, V8, 5.0L, FI, with mass air flow sensor
1994-1995 Ford Bronco, V8, 5.0L, FI, without mass air flow sensor
That sounds to me like my truck has a mass air sensor...but the bronco's didn't?!?!
uhh...yah...uhm, I'm really sure that my truck has speed density, as I bought a FIPK kit from K&N and there were 2 options...one for mass air, and one for speed density, since my brothers 5.0 mustang is mass air, I figured my truck had that too...no beans it wouldn't bolt up, so I took it back and got the other one, speed density variety worked fine.
I've heard of conversion kits, but whats involved? A new throttle body I'm geussing, but that can be had at a junkyard right? then a mass air sensor, also had at a junkyard, but where would you plug the mass air sensor into, there's no place I can see of to put it...new computer maybe?

Mass Air question
Just as you thought, you'd need a mass air computer as well. Easy: Junkyard availible too. The only problem comes in when you have to plug it in, that's where you have to buy a new part. They sell a harness for conversions that has the plug for the massair sensor, and the fuel injectors (Speed-density uses ganged injectors, while Mass-air is pure sequential fuel injection.). It plugs into the new computer between it and the old harness. You could get a complete mass-air harness, too, if you wanted to re-route every wire coming off the computer.
I hear the harness can be had from ford motorsport or some other specialty parts suppliers.
Hope my rambling helped...
