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
