I'm swapping my LS2 MAF to the LS3/LS7 slot style (GM# 15865791). The annoying problem I'm having is that the harness connector doesn't fit. The connector is an aftermarket "LS3 LS7" GM pigtail Manufacturer's part number 88987186. The wiring connector is too shallow. Even with the seal and the purple cover removed it is about 3mm shy of the latch engaging. I know this MAF part number superceded and earlier one from a different supplier. Are there different versions of these connectors I should be aware of as well?

Extra seal in the sensor? Just need to push harder to seat the connector?

My pigtail came from ballenger and I had no prob but I do recall the seal in the sensor.

No, I removed the seal. No I measured with calipers, it is too short.

LS7 MAF listed for a 2008 Corvette 7.0L among other things

don't you have to remove the grey tab in the connector?

It is pulled back, it doesn't need to be removed. I tried removing the grey clip, purple cover and seal from the first connector pictured. It is just too shallow to fit on the MAF I ordered. I even tried a replacement connector from the vendor.

The second pictured connector works no problem and the purple cover doesn't get stuck in the MAF like the first one did.
