no joke...and could somebody with a snorkled CARB take a pic of that...i know somebody has one..but i cant remember who..it would really help both the '86 and my '80...the '86 dies everytime it even goes in water pretty much...(sarcasm..it dies when i run through a mudhole at about 10mph...it floods like a bitch then..)..

Sorry I dont have my pic of my 84 22r up yrt ... Its a holley carb I made my snorkle out of 3 1/2 PCV...it comes out my right side. It works good but I want to make it out of some staeless steel.

Go to the home center and buy the following: ABS pipe in 6ft length 3" diam, ABS pipe in 2" diam 4ft length, ABS pipe fittings-90 and 45 degrees-you need a few of these in both the 2 and 3" diameter. ABS 3" to 2" reducer, and finally a snorkel head from 4x4 connection.

Lay it all out and figure out how to tube it all properly and voila..

I highly regret mine as an eyesore now..

I currently run an in-fender snorkel:

With doind a snorkel set-up, What are you doing with all your other electrical items under the hood? Such as--> Plugs, wires, car, rotor, and any other electrical items.

Probably water getting into the distributor or other part of the ignition.

Do you have the rubber wheel well liners in place or are they missing?

here is what I did

First I removed the old tube and mount from the fender, plugged the stock intake with a solid washer and siliconed It in.
Attachment 181087

2nd I used a 3 inch hole saw and cut a new hole in the stock airbox.

3rd I used a pvc coupler wrapped in a rubber coupler and trimmed the hole for a tight fit, then siliconed that in.
Attachment 181088

4th I cut a hole in the hood using a 3.5 hole saw designed for metal.

5th I mounted another pvc coupler wrapped in a rubber tape untill it became the right size. To the underside of my hood RE-utilizing The stock intake mount on the inside of the fender using sheet metal screws and something to act as a nut plate.

I had to use about a half inch of spacers to get the mount at the right angle so the snorkel went straight up.

Attachment 181089

And last I used a slinky like expanding intake hose so when i open the hood it expands and when I close the hood I guide it back down straight.
Attachment 181090

I need to cut some fuel line and circle it around the opening to make it a little cleaner. I have metal particles stuck the adhesive from the tape I used.... Excuse my dirt. just got back from a outing.

Attachment 181091
Snorkel and A new k&n replacement filter gave me a good amount more power and faster revs.
Total cost $25 for snorkel off ebay
$25 for hose off ebay
$20 for couplers etc.
$45 for K&N replacement filter
$20 for hole saws
