Need help identifying a part
Hi All,
I am missing a small part and need the name of it so I can look for it.
I have an 87 Iroc w/a 305 T.P.I.
Where the top portion of the hard plastic piece (attached to the 2 air filters) meets the flexible hose of the Bosch unit, I am missing the piece that attaches the two. There is a clamp there, but the clamp has nothing to bite/attach to and the housing can be easily moved.
Included is a picture (not of my car) of a similar engine with the part in question within the circle.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Need help identifying a part
The hard plastic Y shaped piece that covers the two air filters slips directly in to the rubber intake bellows. Maybe your Y shaped piece is broken off where it necks down to connect to the bellows. A picture of your car would make this easier.

Re: Need help identifying a part
The plastic piece that covers the twin air filters is called the flow lid, its large and Y-shaped, always black in color. Since you have an '87 TPI, you have a MAF car (unless its been altered). The sensor that connects to the flow lid is the MAF (Mass Air Flow). To connect the MAF to the air (flow) lid, is a round metal band with teeth. Are you talking about this metal band? If you are, just use tape or go to a junk yard.
BTW: your pic is of a MAP car, not MAF, so its mis-leading.
