Need to buy new airtube which goes to tb
It's crapped out , dry rotting ! The part that hooks up to the tb , the plastic is breaking off and I have a hole in it about 2 inches across . I dont want another one like , for one thing , gm charges to damn much for some stuff and I want to straighten the air out . I dont want to put PVC on it b/c I have heard it can let off poisonus fumes when it gets hot . Well I drive this car for long periods of time , so I dont want to put that on there . What should I get guys , what to get ? lol Thanx !

Wayne, as hokey as this sounds,
Go to the TV/Theatre/Prop department of your local school.
Ask the for the BLACK duct tape.
When my docker arrives for my digi camera, I'll show ya hokey & ugly & effective!

There's also the junkyards...
You could even look at the front wheel drive MPFI 2.8's. They have an airtube which takes the same size throttle body, and has the input for the PCV breather. You might have to rig something for the breather, though, because IIRC, it's on the opposite side. A little length of hose would work; cut your existing pipe in 1/2 with a hacksaw, and connect the two halves with a length of hose (fuel line/emissions hose).

Haven't touch it since it went in the garage. Just finished the rear breaks this morning & will do the shocks sometime this week. Attempted to install the I pipe, did'nt work. Decided to drop the panhard bar for some room & snapped the back of the bolt off . Car finally has all 4 of the new rims on. The 3.4 didn't come w/the that rubber ducting so, oh well
