Great luck that you found a suitable replacement in a local boneyard ! Wow
Are the originals made by Hella ?
KS's part source listed Hella as OEM @ $55
Sports car convertible with a V8 and 52k miles sounds like a Winner.
Did you get it cheaper because of the bogging gremlin ?
You mentioned it was just a small investment bought on a whim.

I think the factory maf was a Delphi. The one I replaced was a Denso. The one I got from the yard has a couple part numbers but no name. Go figure.
I feel now like the guy knew something was up but it really wasn't that noticeable having never driven the car before. It was just a slight lag off idle when driving casually and was totally drivable. It's a whole new experience now. If this happened to him in reverse, he was probably quite worried. I don't think he was much of a mechanic.
I paid 8k Can for the car thinking that left some room to spend a bit of time and buy some parts if necessary.
