To clear up a few things concerning Cardone rebuilt stock mass air flow sensors.....
First, our company is one of just a handful of mail order companies that can buy direct from Cardone just like the big boys.
Second if you go to any auto store don;t matter which and they show a listing for a rebuiult one for your 1986-1987 Turbo Regal and their source is Cardone....it will NOT I REPEAT NOT BE original. It will even have a note inside the box saying unit may not look original. Because inthe cardone world of cores, original cores for a limited production car such as ours and now 25 plus years later is tough to get.
So, what Cardone does (you can't fault them) as they cater to replacement parts not original parts per say is they modify a similar mass air flow sensor from I believe a 6 cylinder Camaro and then rivet the two pedistals on it so you can bolt it back on your car like the original. It may work ok and it may not.
However, since we deal with original GM Ac Delco correct 1986-1987 mass air flow sensors and deal direct with Cardone we can get originals redone and our originals back. I am not implying you cna't take you original to auto zone and cross your fingers that you get yours back but mine go direct to Cardone in Philadelphia and come back.
So, basically we are the only game in town if you are seeking a rebuilt original GM AC Delco correct mass air flow sensor or dealing with a vendor who buys from us.
We have plenty of original mass air flow sensor cores in stock and can get them turned around in 5-6 days time.

Richard Clark has tested Cardone units and they are fine meaning when they redo the original ones not a modified Camaro one. Again not knokcing upgraded parts merely pointing out if you want to retain an original part we are prhaps the only answer in this case.
