Ditching the Ugly Stock Intake! ProForm 14" Air Cleaner Install on an '83 Camaro Z28

Welcome back to the channel! Today, we are finally ditching the bulky, restrictive 40-year-old stock air cleaner housing and upgrading to a sleek, matte black ProForm 14-inch air filter assembly. This ProForm housing is exactly what the 350 small block swap needs to breathe right and clear the hood in this 1983 Z28 Camaro. ​In this step-by-step DIY guide, I'll show you exactly how to remove the factory setup, delete the old Thermac dryer vent hose, and properly seat this massive performance filter onto the Quadrajet carburetor. We even run into a stubborn carburetor stud, so stick around to see how to easily remove it using the "double-nut" trick! ​If you found this installation helpful, make sure to hit that LIKE button, drop a comment with what you're working on, and SUBSCRIBE for more third-gen Camaro builds and mechanical DIY projects! ​🛠️ Parts & Tools Used in This Video: ​ProForm 14" Air Cleaner (Matte Black with Red Chevy Logo): https://amzn.to/3Py1Vik ​Replacement Reusable Air Filter (Part # A212CW - 14" x 3"): https://amzn.to/4x35FsW ​Mechanic's Basic Wrench Set (for that 11mm lock nut): https://amzn.to/4eheJmt ​Penetrating Oil (for stubborn studs): https://amzn.to/4nX8K9C ​👇 Connect with the Channel! ​Subscribe for more automotive DIYs:   / @chevydiygarage   ​#CamaroZ28 #ThirdGenCamaro #ProFormParts #Chevy350 #SBC #DIYMechanic #Carburetor #AutoRepair ​⏱️ Chapter Bookmarks ​0:00 - Unboxing the ProForm 14" Air Cleaner Kit ​1:13 - Checking Filter Sizes & K&N Part Numbers ​3:11 - Removing the Stock 305 Air Cleaner Housing ​5:08 - How to Remove a Stuck Carburetor Stud (Double-Nut Trick) ​5:57 - Installing the New Stud on the Quadrajet Carburetor ​6:17 - Assembling the ProForm Air Filter Housing ​8:41 - Deleting the Old Thermac Vent Hose ​9:13 - First Start & Engine Sound Check! ​10:29 - Final Look & Cinematic B-Roll
