get a Pro M MAF, think that's wat most windsor owners opt for. there's also C & L which is popular too. Im after a Pro M maf and 24's for my EL now. Try the corral forums or ebay.com

A MAF is an air flow meter. Also Pro-M and C&L are pretty much the same thing - C&L had Pro-M manufacture part of their MAF range. You'll need one with the flange though and most in the US are non-flanged, unless of course you are going to run a pod filter.

so because my airflow meter is in the pipe from the air filter whats the other thing on the firewall with wires and (used to have vacume)going to it i allways thought it was a maf sensor???

That would be a MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor.

on the v8's its called a bap sensor (barometric absolute pressure sensor)

Out of interest would it be possible to apply a later falcon MAF to an EB windsor? Would this be a benefit?

Just wanted to know if there is a cheaper option

65mm AU ones hook straight up, just swap TPS.....you really wont see much gain if you don't do your intake though

Series one EB 5.0's have a BAP sensor. It looks like a MAP sensor because it is the same sensor left open to measure Barometric Absolute Pressure not Manifold Absolute Pressure(MAP) as it does on all sixes.

Offyaguts - would an AU MAP/BAP improve much on the stock one?

Pete - Do you think it is worth doing this mod if I go for an AU MAP/BAP?

My plan was to -

K & N filter
stainless intake pipe
EL GT Snorkel
and upgraded MAP/BAP

Is this the way to go? Would like to do it all in one hit... so thats air taken care of.

Cheers guys
Pat

thanks for that it clears it up a bit,someone tryed to tell me it used to be a 6cyl because of it not being hooked to the manifold but it must just be a series 1 thing,lol i dont really care i never have to lift the bonnett on the old girl it just keeps going thats why ive still got it,best car ive ever owned by far (and probally the slowest lol)

There is no reason to use an AU MAP sensor they do the same thing...read barometric pressure.
Certainly use the AU MAF with the hotwire off your original MAF....it reduces inlet restriction. It's not perfect, sometimes an adjustable fuel reg is required but you can get away with it in most situations.
A TwEECer will allow you to make it perfect because you'll be able to program in the exact MAF transfer function or even make your own MAF transfer function.

Cheers Lads,
Pete.
