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?
After I sold the truck to my trusty mechanic Carlos, he let me drive it for the remainng 24h I was in town. Of course, 20 minutes later, the engine compartment was on fire...
I had just given my trusty mechanic Carlos from Cruz Automotive the title to the truck and he had given me half the money 20 minutes ago, when I was cruising along Kirby, wondering why some idiots don't notice they're handbrake is on. A little later I noticed in the rearwiev mirror, a huge white cloud behind me. I pulled over to the nearest parking lot (in a dealership), stopped and opened the hood. The smoke came out of my alternator!!!! Seconds later flames shot out of the alternator. I ran into the dealership asking for a fire-extinguisher. They showed me one on the wall and I must have knocked over two three people darting for it and running with it to the car. After three long bursts of powder from the extinguisher, the fire was out. An inspection revealed only the alternator and one of the two plastic connectors were damaged. After calling a colleague from work for help, I tried to start the engione (not before removing all plugs from the alternator) and it fired up just fine. I drove the truck to Carlos where he gave me the rest of the money (minus $100). The picture below is the latest and last of my truck and probably also the prettiest with the fondest memories: It'll be missed. I could not take it to Europe with me.
