87-92 Firebird TPI air intake parts needed!

The previous owner lost the lid to the airbox, the stud or bolt or wingnut or what-have-you that holds the can in place, and the throttle body worm clamp. This is what I have. I need whatever is missing:

Re: 87-92 Firebird TPI air intake parts needed!

You'll want to stick to parts from 90-92 if you want to be sure. 87 still used the 85-87 can setup with the plastic lid. Some 88-89 cars used then bale clamp on lids.

The tb boot clamp is the same as 85-89 Camaro, and 90-92 Firebirds with TPI. The rubber rib that the clamp straddles is different on 85-87 Firebirds, so the clamp doesnt interchange. The clamp sold by the dealer towards the 2000's is just a typical large round hose clamp. I'm not sure if the 88-89 Firebird or 90-92 Camaro used the same clamp or not. Been in your shoes before, it was easiest to just buy another setup that wasn't missing pieces.

That will work - I can steal the clamp from an older parts car I have since all the TPI throttle bodies are the same!

How much shipped to 97267?

Thanks Don!

This is what I have and I would like to keep it all together
if that will work for you. The other stuff would be junk if I broke it up.

Sure. That will work just fine. Maybe at some point the previous owner will locate the missing bits for me. I'm not holding my breath for that though.

Price and shipping to 97267? Thanks Don!
