Finnaly decided on a what open element air cleaner, here she is.

I know I said I didnt want Edelbrock because its to common. Well I jumped on the bandwagon anyway. Now this one doesn't look at that common. This is one of the elite series. Notice the wing nut they provided wount fit. What is that about

Looks good, but get rid of the paper filter. Get a high flow one.
You where probably going to do this anyway.

what i meant was get the k&n filter not neccesarilly the whole assembly(although it is what i have) it flows a hell of a lot better than the paper.

and just to reply to the part about the k&n being cheaper, if you can get the k&n assembly cheaper than the edelbrock than let me know where i will buy a whole lot of them and sell them here for a major profit.

Here's mine redbird - I also took out the plate in the 'Bulge' and put in a Honey Comb one from an 82-84 TA. That way I get some nice cool air in there and its not sucking all 'engine bay air'. I likes alot.

You can kinda see the honeycomb piece in this pic.

NICE!, I need to do something with my plate on the power bulge hood. I was thinking of making a buterfly with a swith that can open and close it during rainy or sunny days.
