91 Sonoma ST

96Blazer LS · 10-20-2009, 10:34 PM

I did own a 1991 Sonoma ST, 2.8, 5 speed, short wheel base, regular cab. I would take and flip the air cleaner lid and it would sound awesome.....almost like a 4 barrel carb back in the day. I just did this rarely, te engine would sound just unreal. Made others in S-10/Sonomas look and try to figure out what was under the hood.

I leave mine like that, and yea, it does give it a cool sound haha. I don't let my air filter go very long though...

NEO- how did you manage to put an open style air filter on your 2.8? what did you do with all the vacuum hoses and map sensor? I have read on here for a while and have not seen this style air filter on a 2.8 and have also read that it was not possible because of the vacuum lines and map sensor.

The heat stove rarely works so I just unhooked it and when I ran all new vac lines I left it out. The MAP I made a bracket out of an old air cleaner and pop riveted it to the spot it was factory on the new cleaner.

You aint been reading around enough cause I've whored my motor pics a many of time. Even been asked about it enough I have pics on hand of it.

While I got this thread all hijacked to hell, this is soon replacing the 2.8

1995 camaro 3.4 with a bit too much work done to it.
