I actually fabricated a 72 mm MAF becasue at the time (1991-1993) there was hardly anyone making them and the ones that did wanted a arm and a leg.
Jason (96modGT) borrowed it from me long ago and had never returned it.
It was made from a piece of steel pipe with the appropriate size small scavenger tube inside for the MAF sensor wires to sit in. Then I made a homemade flange for the sensor to sit on. And it worked well, no check engine light and it picked up a few tenths in the 1/4 mile.
This was before Ford put a square flange on the end of the MAF so I just put a huge conical K&N air filter on it. Lots of people asked about it at the track and wanted me to make more of them but I didn't.
Doubt I have any pics. and if I do they are stored away, that was before digital camera you know.
See the carb guy isn't so stupid afterall.
