I got out my Official Service Manual (Saab 900 1985-1993), and took a look at their picture (page 110-12, fig.16), and it is indeed different from my part.
Did Saab change the part?...does anyone have a number of the part I need?
My 84/85 900T16 has (or rather had) a large vertical cylinder with a curver outlet on top, and a side mounted inlet.
it now has a cone filter with heat shield directly mounted onto the Bosch airflow meter.
I understand that the Lucas air meter models may be different, because the air meter is positioned vertically instead of horizontally as the bosch one is.
The classic 900 has 3 types of filter housing:
1 900 8 valve carb, injection and turbo2 900 16 valve injection and turbo with bosch injection
3 900 16 valve with lucas injectionTom, Saabtech
Really? I haven't had a carbed 900 in ages, so I can't remember what that's like. But I currently have a Bosch and a Lucas 900, and they look pretty much the same to me. What am I missing?
Thanks Tom, I'll take a closer look at both of mine next time I'm doing stuff under the bonnet.
I just want to make it clear for myself:
Which one is has air box that is cylindrical shaped, and holds the larger air filter elements. The "bucket."
Once again, I got one that holds the smaller air filter element.
Which part number applies to which?
I think the bucket is the bosch one. I had it on mine before I fitted a universal cone filter. The airmeter attaches to the top through a 90degree angled pipe that is on top of the airbox.
