Yeah dad suggested this .. i was looking at buying some uni-filters or bolt on k&n paper filters .... any suggestions... i like the look of the trumpets/ram tubes with the big socks hanging off the side... it add's characterto the look of the engine bay !!!! LOL but yeah ... .. also do these ar filters have any pipes comeing out the bcak for overflow etc?? can would be good ... but i am converting to amanual before i get serious .. but imay just leave the engine mods for my rally car i am building which willbe a 74 180b sss with a L20 2.4L maybe .. & imight put quad throttle body injection on it or sumthing along those lines .... but that is for the future.. when i have that funny looking thing called money .. oh well ... i can dream for now .. no harm in that !!!
