Open Air Element for third gen TBI

[Darren]

Yea that's nuts! I think I am ordering a basic one from CS3 hes getting me a link soon! Now gotta decide on some valve covers to help clean this engine bay up!

I'm running the Edelbrock Signature valve covers on my '79.

Going back to the air filter, when I was getting the engine set up in mine, I was working out an air filter top that had air flow through it, then about a week later, here came K&N with the top already made. Imagine my.....frustration. At first, I was running a K&N filter, till the motor sucked the oil out of it after a good pull at Detroit Dragway (cam has like .570" lift to it), so I just went with paper and reinforced the backside of it.

Anyway, I believe the top is about $45 through Summit if I remember correctly. I didn't end up getting one, just cause I was pissed about being one-up'd, but the idea of the max amount of air to the carb, well, that's a good one, of course being that this was roughly 13 years ago, I'm over it.
