If it'* a U-Pull-It place, then take your'* for reference. You are looking for any of the H-Bodies with the same motor LN3. Buicks and Olds are fair game too. Blower equipped cars have a different MAF that looks the same, but it isn't the same.

The canidates: Electra, LeSabre, Reatta, Riviera, Delta-88, Nighty-Eight, Toronado, and of course, another Bonneville. Look on the cowl tag for a VIN engine code of "C"
So is the VIN 3 MAF the same as a VIN C?

Nope, not even close... In 88 GM used both Vin 3 3.8 V6 and Vin C 3800V6

That'* what I was thinking. If I remember correctly, the car getting worked on in this thread is a VIN 3.

Sorry, Based on what he was saying (the reference through 91 Bonnevilles), I figured he was working on an LN3.
