Will this Air Filter fit??

I got a 84 z28 carbed engine (manual transmission), and I wanted to know if this would fit in my car?? and if not is there something similar out there hat would fit?? and not too pricy either thanks!!

Also if there is any alternatives, I am kinda leading towards stainless steel look, and also what difference (performance) will this make besides my stock one, if any? thanks soo much!

Yes, I have the same one on my '83. Didn't you already start a thread about air filters?

It was quite a big difference on my '83 I noticed quite a bit of power increase. Well as much as this little 305 will put out.

Yes, it's a direct fit, just rip out all of your old air filter stuff. Bolt this on and go. The passenger side valve cover doesn't use a PCV (mine doesnt anyways) it is just a breather tube. I went and got a chrome valve cover breather and stuck that in there.

I just got this same one today!

Is it really supposed to bolt on? My old airfilter housing wasn't bolted on. Also the vacuum hose that went into the bottom and then went to the snorkel, what do I do with it?
