Default Air pump filter?

Where can you get the breather filter and little cap to close the hole in the lid? Below is a pic (of someone else's car) to explain what I'm talking about...



Thanks.

I think o'reilleys has stuff like that, or pretty much any auto parts store should.

Check the ricer section at any parts store.

Dunno about the breather but I got a black plastic
snap-in cap at Lowe's (or Home Depot, I forget, I
went and bought one pack of every size at each).
Used a little black weatherstrip cement to make it
stay put and be airtight. Maybe not appropriate
for a prettied-up car, but good enough for me.

Haha, I have seen more rice on Camaros too last a lifetime compared to your catch can. Which because of your write-up I will be getting one soon.

I have a 98 and i deleted the "air-system" to my motor. However, i noticed that im still getting that whinning as if the motor is still running.

Should i just remove the whole unit all together (wieght reduction) or plug it with a breather?

anone know the codes that would get rid of this thing...

NOTE: i believe i already did and i will check, but just to double check.

Dirty, does this AIR thingy do anything good? I mean, i blows cold densy air into the intake, so why remove it if not for aesthetic purposes?

With that, tonight, that sucka is out!!!

It just moves your ambient air around for like 30 seconds upon start-up. It doesnt constantly stay on. Yank it out! it is will turn your hands black = dirty. Wear a glove or something. I wish I would have.
