i had one on my 12a for about 2 days, you can hook dryer hose to the air cleaner and run it to the front bumer.

lol, when I first bought my 83, my friend and I were discussing ways on how we could rig a cold air intake to it. We were gonna ghetto rig it with the dryer hose to the air cleaner like mike said. The only problem is you should probably take it off when it rains so you have less of a chance of getting water into your engine.

If you do it right, then you don't have to worry about water getting into it. I drove mine around all day today in the rain with the dryer hose on and didn't have any problems. Once you put a hose on, the engine really starts sucking stuff up through the opening, like leaves and small animals. Just remember not to go into any deep puddles or drive into any lakes, that'll ruin the engine right quick.

the pro seven race cars around here all use some sort of tube to the stock air cleaner, they used to cut holes in it but i guess a cold air feed works better

You can feel it a little bit, but the best thing is the woosh sound you get. I know that's true for a carbed set up, I don't know about fuel injection.
