Default Air intake on a Escort EFI

Hello guys,

I switched from MFI to EFI. How did you guys made your air intake? Do some of you have some nice photo's of it? On the engine bay photo's it's quite difficult to see!

Cheers!

So did you use a little piece of pipe to connect them to each other? Does it need some support or does it rest on the chassis?

Yeah I used a hose joiner, and it does rest on the chassis.

I made up an aluminium adaptor to take original MFI airbox, adapts the large hole on that to a piece of samco, jubilee clamped onto the ally adaptor.
