re: "...This is the first replacement in 209,000 miles and coincided with a first replacement of a new (remanufactured) air mass meter...."

Actually, it wasn't a coincidence. Your faulty air box thermostat caused the AMM to become cooked!

I would remove the whole mechanism (including the flapper), rip out the hose from the manifold, and put some plug in the opening in the airbox (to prevent drawing in air from behind the radiator) so that the only air coming in will be the cold air in front of the radiator. That's what I did with my '84, and my two '93's.
Not only will the engine run better (always getting cooler air), but my AMM will probably run forever.
