i knew you would respond. i am glad you did. you recomnd fram wix/napa how about maeli (not sure of the spelling). i will certainly get the wix/napa or fram but i have two of these left and was going to order more mann.
isn't the funnel part of the PVC system?
thanks for your response.

RE: 81 300 CD MODIFICATIONS
 
so where is the funnel you are talking about? is it the cold air intake at the front of the car? that looks to be a little restrictive. otherwise it's a straight shot.
i am going to do the lash next week and that should bring everything up to date. when i do that is it best to do it cold or warm? i have heard both.
if i still have your attention, when should i replace the timing chain? car has 75543 miles on it.
