Air Induction. HELP!!!!!
I am wanting to put a new air induction system on my 96 xlt 5.0. I am thinking of the K&N system but, I am not exactly sure if I have mass air or not. How do I tell? And, does anyone have any suggestions as to what type of system would work best for trying to improve my awsome 11-12 mpg?

Air Induction. HELP!!!!!
Check out project MPG at www.performanceunlimited.com they came up with some interesting findings when they researched induction systems.
Your 96 should most likely be mass air. There is a sensor between the air filter box and the intake hose on a mass air engine. The sensor will have a wiring harness attached to it to send info back to the computer. I would think that this is the most obvious way to visually inspect for mass air. My '92 is speed density and doesn't have this sensor in the unduction system. While I am not certain, I was under the impression that mass air became standard after a certain point in time. Unfortunately, I don't know when in the Bronco production run that was.
