Man, that's worth a look, even if you don't buy the van!  Uh, would
you mind bringing a camera and taking a bunch of photos of what he did
while you're there?

(Interested in the MAF setup, but not believing the 26 MPG...  Maybe he has one of those
electric turbocharger setups...)

Subject: MAF sensor and a waterboxer

I just called a guy about a 1985 vanagon that he has for sale.  He said he removed the AFM and
 wired in a GM mass airflow sensor.  He said he now gets 26-27MPG.  He indicated there is a little
 black smoke at startup, otherwise runs OK.  Has anyone heard of this mod?  What's a good price
for a
 used AFM these days?  Maybe the van will need one.
