Re: Jessica, my 86 lwb
thanks 1986c10!
the ram air is from summit the part number on it is a SPE-728. i bought mine on sale i think i gave $99 for it they run em on sale fairly frequently but i dont think its but $140 or $150 when its regularly priced. the kit comes with the flex tube and a plastic connector to mount up to the core support. i relocated my horn on the drivers side over about 3 or 4 inches (dont quote me on that) bassically just to the next set of predrilled holes on the support so that i could pipe out on that side. there is already a perfectly drilled hole on the drivers side to pipe too. now on the passanger side there is an identical hole but it has a plate over it. (in post #37 you can see what im talking about) for the passanger side i just took my reciprocating saw and cut that plate out to make the hole. i used the included hardware to mount the inlet adapter to the core support to pipe the tubing to. now i didnt wanna leave my intakes open cuz i wanted to take one more precaution against rain and water getting in there. not that you have to you can leave em open i just didnt want to. i had some sheet aluminum laying around the garage (dont know the gauge sorry, its thin thats all i can tell you lol) i used the "cap" i cut out on the passanger side to get a dimension to cut the new ones with and then just marked it out on the sheet and cut it out with some snips. then i took some 1/4 copper tubbing i had laying around and cut 8 pieces about 2-2-1/4 inches long to use as a spacer. i drilled out a quad pattern in the support around the hole and then used some 3 or 3-1/2 inch stainless steel deck screw to attach the caps. (sorry i know im horrible with messurments im more of a size it by eye kinda gal ) again you can look at post #37 to see all the pics i have of it up. then i just rattle canned it black to hide it behind the grill and put her back together. since i havent really had her "out on the road" (apart from the drive home, 3 miles with a bunch of stuff in her cuz i moved) im not sure what i got preformance wise. i still got a TON of tuning to do to her to before shes running well enough to tell but that fresh cold air can never hurt. lol hopefully i awnsered your question
