Hand-dimensioned drawing of a MAF housing filter side showing bolt-hole spacing and bore diameters in inches.

AI caption · Photo 31 of 114

This document is a hand-made dimensional blueprint of a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor housing, drawn from the air-filter side, uploaded to a 1996 Ford Taurus gallery. The sketch shows a roughly rectangular flange with four mounting bolt holes at the corners and a large central bore, with the sensor position marked at the top edge. Bolt-hole spacing is given as 3.625 inches across the top and bottom edges and 2.9375 inches along the left and right sides; the two diagonal hole-to-hole measurements are 4.59 and 4.625 inches. Text below the drawing specifies the bore (hole) diameter on the filter side as 3.3125 inches, the throttle-body (TB) side diameter as 3 inches with a .875 lip, and the TB diameter itself as 2.5625 inches with a .75 lip. All dimensions are stated in inches, and the author cautions that measurements were taken with a 'gradeschool ruler,' implying limited precision. A reader can use this document to compare MAF housing sizes for swaps or intake fabrication, to check bolt-pattern compatibility, and to size adapters or couplers for the filter and throttle-body sides. No year, make, model, or part numbers appear on the document itself.
