It's NOT the AFM. Save your $$.

You should check the fuel pressure and run a pin connector test at the ecu instead of just throwing parts at it. At least for testing purposes you can use any afm from 75-78 on a 78. If your fuel pressure tests ok, and it passes the pin connector test, then it could be your ecu.

you can use any airflow meter except turbo from 75-83. If you use one from 79-83 you must put a jumper wire in the first two terminals in the left side of the plug as it's facing you in the installed position
