open element/air cleaner
Not sure if this is the right forum to post my question.
Anybody knows which open element air cleaner fits a 1990Iroc 350 TPI?

Re: open element/air cleaner
not sure what you're getting at... do you have the stock air box still? the only way to get an open element air cleaner on a TPI is to get rid of the factory air box and make a new intake duct that will allow you to put an open element cone filter on.
here's my car, are you talking about something like this?

I would say the same! You are better off with a cold air intake SLP style with K&N filter. You could actually reduct the whole thing custom to get the air right at the bottom of the fender/bumper. You want that cold air from outside the engine bay.

Re: open element/air cleaner
Exactly, I made my own duct that puts the air filter right next to the evap canister. I plan on cutting a hole through the tray right next to the evap canister that I can run duct through and put my air filter right under the tray. since I don't have a fog light on that side I can make some kind of system to direct air through the fog light hole on the bumper and straight up into the air filter to have a cold air intake

Sounds like a plan to me... might revisit my setup!
