Hi Guys,
I'm looking for an air filter housing for my 1986 XJ 2.8.
(A previous owner thought it looked better without the inlet horn on it !!)

Do you have a picture of one. I think I remember what it looks like but am unsure.

It's just a round, pancake type filter housing that sits on the carb.
It's on page 14-4300 in the 1986 parts catalogue (Item 1. part # 5300-2742)
You probably have this already, but I enclose the URL to the parts pdf, just in case .
Regards,
Sandy.

I threw mine away long ago. But it is the same configuration as the ones on a car. You will find something that will work in the wrecking yard. Check especially S10 Blazers and pick ups with the 2.8L

Is the carb one and the TBI ones the same?

I believe so.

I believe so.

Should be plenty in the J/Y then.
