    Everyone out there must have one of these. It's the flexible part between the air filter extension and the air tunnel. It's made of a fabric and shaped in an accordian fashion. Mine is completely torn up. Is this part available in another material? After 74 were these connectors made of plastic? Must I revert to duct tape to cover the gap? Thanks for your assistance.

    My Mav never had one of those, at least it didn't when I got it. I was beginning to think it never came with one but i've been curious about this myself. Our Van has one but it's all shredded and needs replacing.

    Air Passage

    On my six the extension on the air cleaner runs
    down to an air tunnel on the right side. There's supposed to be
    a flexible piece to connect the air filter to the outside air tunnel coming in from the grill. It's flexible because of the shaking of the engine during start up. The accordian shape eventually starts to tear apart.
    The arrangement on your 302 is probably different.
