Oh, while I didn't exactly say it, I used the 2.1 air filter box, too, as the 2.1 AFM doesn't mate with the 1.9 filter box anyway. BTW, Jim Thompson's article says the 2.1 provides 15 more HP and 12 lbs more torque. I can say this ... my '85 has a lot more power with a fresh 2.1 as compared to a tired 1.9. :) Mike Mike Collum wrote: > Here's a link to Jim Thompson's article: > > http://www.oldvolkshome.com/19to21.htm > > > I did my '85 a little differently in that I used the 2.1 snorkel, AFM, S > boot, throttle body, plenum and runners. > > I kept the 1.9 exhaust and cooling system for now.
