how to make a cold air intake

I was just wondering what is involed with making a cold air intake? I have a 1983 z-28 camaro with a 305. I have after market headers and a edelbrock carb. Not sure if any of this matters. Don't know if i could build one with the parts i have in my car. Any tips and help would be great. Thanks

Try this thread. It is the one I used back in 2005 and my car has NEVER run hot. I am very happy with the results and it looks sharp too.

That, alone, would make it worth hanging onto, but along with it being able to supply A LOT of air, all fresh and "cold," because it's coming in through a large opening over the headlights, you're already good-to-go, so I wouldn't change a thing.
