RE: 1986 MAF
fortunately, a friend of a friend has an '86 MAF available.
fwiw---when i was checking around, it seemed that all 86-87 305/350 TPIs used the same MAF part #--regardless of manufacturer. Numbers were different for '85 & 88-89. don't know what the differences are, but apparently something is different to change part #s.

I just changed my MAF sensor on my '85 corvette. It threw out code 33 also. You can get a Bosch MAF sensor at Discount auto for $168 including tax. After installation, disconnect (+ve) cable from battery, and turn igition switch to start for 5 seconds. That should clear all codes in the computer. Reconnect battery and go on your merry way...cheers Mario.
, my arms don't reach that far. LOL

All2kool,
I only paid for the BOSCH MAF sensor once, and that was 2 years ago. It went bad a week ago as I explained earlier, and is guaranteed for lifetime at Discount Auto. I simply took the receipt and got a another one. If it fails again in the 2 or more years from now, I just go and get another one. Didn't have to spend $700. Ha ha
