welll.... if anyone happened across my last 2 threads in this forum, you will know about my situation... i decided to share some pics and stuff since i got 'em on!

it was a little difficult b/c i had to drill holes in the air cleaners to allow for the carb vacuum lines and for the brake vacuum assist line. you would think that would be all, but when i put my front air cleaner on to figure out where i was going to put the holes i put it on upside down (so i ended up with holes on the wrong part ) well, i made do and squeezed 'em on! ok, enough blabbing. here's my dirty a$$ engine compartment!

Question . What are you trying to do with this mod. ? You may vary well find that the vent on the valve cover will emit fumes into the driver compartment. I did see that you did add air horns to the carbs , this is good it will get back some of the lost HP from the stock ones, why dident you just use the stock air cleaner with a K & N filter ? Just wondering. Are you still running the old points type dist. ? If so going to a electronic systime would be a vary good up grade and not too costly. I went with a '79zx ignition and have been vary happy with it for 3 yrs. My 2cts

well.... my stock air cleaner is messed up: the flap won't stay on "summer" and i have to keep fixing that.... as for the filter on the PCV, i just plan on keeping that there until i can get an overflow canister.

i also wanted a little more airflow than the closed cleaner could provide, and i know that i'm sucking in more hot air now, but my engine was having asthma with the stock cleaner ...

i haven't switched over to the electronic dist yet, but i have mine from the 79 awaiting installation.

I hope you dident disconnect the pvc valve ! It is vary much needed . The vent in the valve cover is a must as well. The little filters are good looking though. As far as inhaling the engine bay air , I bet if you ran a unrestricted large air line to the outside , and put the car on a dyno then did the same with the set up you have you would find vary little difference if any. Same with running the two filters verses the stock one with a K & N . If you were in compitition ,running at red line or near it , that's another matter , but for a daily driver I don't think so.

no i didn't disconnect the pcv... and as for the driveability: it's great! loud, too..... but still great! i got these so that i wouldn't have to get MORE air cleaners later on for competition
