Well I was checking the fluids in the beast today and realized that my AF box was not closed all the way. After looking at it a little bit closer I realized the tabs in the back of the housing were broke off. I was wondering if any of y'all have had to buy a replacement and where the best place is to get them is, or what other options I have? I guess I need to get this fixed pretty quick.

 

14x3 air cleaner is a fast and easy fix. you can get them at pretty much any auto parts store or online parts whole sales.

 

What he^^ said, note that you will need an "s" bolt to be able to get it on there; along with a breather to replace the little elbow valve (which resides in the valve cover) that hooks into a hose that goes to the air box...

At the risk of revealing my redneck roots: duct tape should work effectively as a temp fix until you are able to repair it properly.

 

What do you mean by a little breather, what does it look like?

 

sits to the right of ur air intake box on the back of the valve cover. looks like a r. kind of.. has a hose going from it to the air box.. the breather to replace it looks like a minature air filter the cone version..

 

Here's a write up detailing the installation process of a 14x3 air cleaner, it includes a pic of the breather I was speaking of:https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-assembly.html

 

Thanks for the link, somehow the only picture I need on that guide is unavailable. Does anyone happen to have a picture of it saved? Sorry for all the questions guys, but I really appreciate all of the help so far.

 

All the pics are working for me?

 

Weird, some of them work for me, but two of them have red Xs on them. IS the 3rd picture down(the edelbrock breather is that what I hook the black tube to?). I feel like an idiot that I can't figure this simple thing out.

 

Not sure if that one will have the hose barb for the tube. I think it is just a filtered breather, and you don't use the tube to the air cleaner any more.
