Converting to MAF

I found a 96 I6 auto at the u-pull and was wondering just how much of the engine harness would I need for the conversion? I can re-pin the one I have for the new sensor no problem. But will the auto tranny comp work in my manual truck? Mine's a 95 so the issue with the smaller injectors with higher pressure isn't a problem.

You can use portions of the '96 harness for the conversion but the computer is no good to you since it is OBD-2 and uses a 104 pin connector versus the 60-pin OBD-1 system in your '95.

Has anyone ever thought about using a MAF setup from a early 90's Taurus 3.0? Maybe have to get a tuner but parts are everywhere. I would like to try some things on my 300-6 to get a little better fuel mileage.

You have a C6 tranny, the single best thing you could do is install a tranny with OD, the AOD and both Mazda and ZF 5 speed manuals would provide this.
