ToyoGuy Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Howdy all, I am consulting the collective oracle of older carburetor-types in search of the purpose of this mysterious "air-box" device, ( behind radiator overflow bottle and next to white arrow in picture). I am in currently doubt of it's actual usefulness on a well-tuned 22R motor assembly and I am just running the stock plastic flex-pipe off the air filter out to the front of the grille, next to the radiator. Thanks for any informed thoughts or speculation. BR, TG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 According to Yotatech, it's an air intake boot. Not sure what it does but read the thread Air intake boot - YotaTech Forums Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyoGuy Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Thanks Linda, I wonder what's inside?, or if it's perforated, since I don't own one because my coach battery used to be there. (before I converted to 6 V deep cell x 2 in the back) Might have to call Yodaman on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyoGuy Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Ah, more is revealed in the thread! It is an Air Silencer/ Resonator box! I guess it blocks the "hiss" of the intake and resonation of the air-cleaner chamber at certain RPM's... Good thing I don't need one, they are not to be found...

linda s Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 No I just can't have that. I insist you must have one especially now that there's room 84-88 Toyota Pickup 22R OEM Cold Intake Air Filter Silencer | eBay Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyoGuy Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 "they are not to be found... " You'd think that after all this time, I would have known better than to have made such a foolish statement in present company. Thanks Linda, I'm on it.
