IIRC, the front of the car is to the right in this diagram, I'm not quite sure anymore. But yes, the numbers coincide with the cylinders, so there is a way in which you can align the diagram with your engine.

Hey Bjoern. I have a question about your wiring diagram on the MAF conversion. Is the diagram of the injector wiring from the top view of the engine? Because I'm guessing the injector numbers don't coinside with the cylinder numbers? Thanks
The auto tranny is a problem, because you have a very limited choice of computers. Unfortunately, I have no idea about auto trannies and can't help you there. Conversion to standard is a big deal and not for the faint of heart. I bought a book on Ford EFI which I found to be very helpful and I learned a lot from it. I think it was this one: [link]
hey bjoern, ive had your maf conversion in my favorites forever... i finally rebuilt the engine, but put in a lumpier cam, along with some other minor mods, so now basically, it runs, but with the old map sensor, not so good. thats alot of technical words, and all ive worked on up to this point is oldies with carbs and no EFI, but im learning alot and im loving it. i have one difference, but i dont think it bothers anything, i have an automatic transmission, so if i install the maf system out of a newer pickup it may want to read the e40d when i just have an aod... unless maybe i can find one with a standard transmission?? i dunno, im getting so confused with all this technology, i would like to do it step by step just as you did. can you help me somehow?
Ok, this little device has been covered by USA Today (1, 2) and the Discovery channel last year. But it just fits so well into the theme of how basic science on invertebrates can have completely unforseeable applications. But let's start from the beginning: For the last couple of decades, people have been training bees and wasps to recognize odors. Researchers did this to study how the brain learns. The reason to study bees and wasps was that they learn well and have a much simpler brain than humans. Glen Rains at the University of Georgia puts trained wasps into a computerized device that automatically reads the behavior of the wasps and tells the user if the wasps are smelling the odor thay have been trained to (for example the odor of plastic explosives or of a dangerous fungal infection of a crop). He called this device "WaspHound" and I just got the PubMed abstract in (full text, requires subscription). With this device, a lot of money can be saved on training and maintenance of expensive dogs. People should realize that basic research, even if it is only concerned with the lowly invertebrates, is worthy of public funding, because there's no telling what spectacular and/or useful applications might develop out of it one day.
