Good luck. I have stayed away from the ones I find with out the bellow, but at $10 you can't pass it up! You might have to get something "custom" made.

exactly what i thought. 10 bucks is just 10. if i sell i can still make like 200 off it if i decide to sell

I see them going for 300+. Sounds like you bought a winning lottery ticket.

Sorta. It's like having a winning ticket with nothing to scratch it off with lol I want to put this bitch on already but have no idea how to get a custom bellow made.

I've never seen a bellow-less blackwing lid...what does the outlet portion look like as opposed to a regular lid? Regardless, that's a great find!!

OP post a pic... If they are like most lids u can get a 3" coupler from any hardware store and put it on....

They are not. They have an oval opening on the lid like the stock lids and go round to the maf.

Try SLP.. you used to be able to order the bellow and clamps from their website in the restoration section.. if its not their give them a call.. i believe it was like $34.95 for the bellow and clamps

Nice find on the lid.... Just run a SLP lid tho... Same gains... Less hassle

all this time i thought they were exactly the same, i just had to compare my blackwing with a regular slp lid and that was the first time i noticed that the bellows were differently shaped

Everyone has a SLP I want the blackwing since its no common here. If I sell it how much should I sell it for?

IMO, sell it for enough to get you $10 back, or put it in a box and throw it up on a shelf until a good option comes your way. Since nobody is go to spend a bunch of money for something they can't even use.

Thats what I thought, then I saw this on ebay about a month ago. I figured someone would be dissapointed spending that much for something that won't work without the bellow.

I'd prefer to use it tho. I couldn't heat up a silicone coupler and stretch it to the blackwing and never take that hose clamp off only the other end going to the maf?

Could you not use the stock one? They look like the same shape

NO, a stock bellow will not work on a Blackwing lid, it is to small. If you can get someone to plastic weld you a piece on the Blackwing lid to a 4" that would be the way to go. Then you can just use any 4" coupler.
