N/A IDI CAI?
Anyone know how big the intake is off-hand? I was looking sat one of these kits for a N/A IDI...
Spectre Performance Modular Air Intake Systems - SummitRacing.com
they fit 5 1/8 inch carb necks, would they fit an IDI?

If youre goin CAI best thing you can do is get the filter out of the engine compartment. Even NA i would fab up a neck for the intake in place of the filter housing, and run the intake in between the inner fenders, or relocate a battery and build a shield. I got around to doing the latter and made a world of difference for me.
EDIT:
Pic finally loaded. Nice looking stuff, but i cant imagine where you would put them.

You can turn them and get more pieces, thats just an example how to set them up, i was gonna have them come off the splitter in the intake, out about 4-5 inches then turn the 90's so the filters are pointing towards the fenders, then buy two more extensions and get them out there closer, and then fab up two tunnels that bolt to the fenders so the air is forced around the filter. any thoughts?

Personally, I would take that money and put it into the IDI turbo kit fund.
But if you really have to dicker with the intake, this is what I did pre-turbo.

I'd love a turbo, but its out of the question at the moment, I wanna get the chrome CAI because i'm powdercoating my intake chrome, exchanging the CDR for a slobbertube, possibly powdercoating my exhaust manifolds, and the valve covers if i can get a replacement sticker for them. so all that chrome, accented by dual chrome intakes......ooohhh shiny....

A PCV piping through the hood is a good CAI
But this weekend, I saw an OBS IDI, and it had a ducting pipe underneath the front bumper, drivers side, waiting abit to see him about that, but didn't have time to wait, I wanted to see how he routed that, looked pretty effective, only down side though would be **** from the road getting in there.
