they have a beatup old aerostar at work for a shop truck, it was having all kinds of rough running issues...my buddy had the airbox off of it, and just walking by I noticed you could see daylight inside- the air filter was not sitting in the box right, and it was sucking air around it...put the filter back in right and it ran like a top...he was a little upset that was all it was...the MAF on those older ones apparently dont like turbulent air coming in anyway but straight into the duct?
