In the yards I noticed all the GM Throttle bodies have these funky space things on them between the throttle body and the air filter. Do I need it if I want to run my stock air filter?
Do we need these Air filter spacers, or does our stock filter bolt on?

Back when I had TBI, I had to use that spacer to get clearance for the injector pod. Without it, the top of the injector pod would hit the underside of the air filter cover, preventing me from fully installing it.79 Cherokee Chief 401/T18/D20, MPFI fuel injection, hydroboost, otherwise stock.

I did the Howell TBI from BJ's on my 1989 and had to use a plastic spacer kit from Autozone to clear throttle linkage.1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

I guess the real answer is just try it without a spacer and see if it works. If you need it or feel that it improves the airflow path, then do it.1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
