K&N makes a red one.
I've used several.
I think the number is RC5000.
Ebay has several different listed.

Yeah, I don't know about the blue one either, but I have a K&N as pictured....
I found it cheaper at Advanced Auto locally than Ebay or any other place...
They make a 5050 model, bigger, but that 5000 model flows enough for stock or mild 205 / 350 engines...

Re: TPI air filter needed

that's a spectre filter. you can almost read the spectre logo coming down the seam on the filter. When I went to their application guide they only have the panel filters listed for tpi vehicles so i would guess someone either built an adapter or just forced a round filter on the oval tb.

Seems like I remember that a 4.5 or 5" round flatens out and fits the TPI.

Yeah, that's it. I built my own cold air duct couple years ago, but forgot the size tubing and connector was.
