if you have a stud that bend proprly, you will need a 1/2 inch spacer off the trottle body, other than that it should work

Its from a early 90's dodge dakota. It had the circular filter from the factory, and the same type of Throttle body that we have.

How?

Yeah, that will work, its the same thing I have. Although, I wouldnt spend $144 for 2 pieces of stamped steel and a filter. I spent $40 for my Edelbrock 14x3 that came with a new filter.

We dont exactly have alot of room between the throttle body and the destrib, just sayin it might sit cockeyed

I do think that I will need to get a longer stud. The filter is 2 3/4 inch tall, and this stud is about the same size
