I just checked AFI's website, I didn't see VSS, Linkage, Air Cleaner, Distributor, Coil, Ignition Module, or Knock Sensor?????I never saw an AFI photo of the 2F TBI setup with an air cleaner and wondered this myself. It's a 'complete kit' - but no air cleaner is a pretty significant omission, I think. Does AFI suggest or recommend anything?
I'll make more!!!!!Jim, Just bought your last TBI adapter off Ebay. Woo Hoo!

I'm going to make more adapters and air cleaners, they'll be in my ebay store when done.edwjmcgrath and DAD2SIX you're right. I did a lousy job of identifying the problem. The issue is that my 2F is finishing up an overhaul and I went with AFI's FI kit. The original air cleaner will not fit the throttle body set up and I didn't think it through prior to purchase or I would have gotten Jim Downey's air cleaner (of which there are no more ).
Now I need to sort out options and the Man-A-Fre adapter looks like it should do the trick but someone else may have taken another approach that was successful. Also entertaining an idea involving aluminum pizza pans
Thanks for the replies!
we used the man a fre adapter pictured. Except that we ordered direct from the manufacturer...it is made by 4plus (lcwizard here on mud). using the stock air cleaner with adapter there is about a 1.5 to 2 inch gap between the adapter and the air cleaner..not sure what we will do here but it is lined up properly so maybe a donut gasket of some sort will be used

VSS works with the O2 sensor to control idle functions. My guess is you have a problem in this area?????View attachment 1010295
Took a while to get this posted. Here is the air cleaner. Truck back fires at idle cold and if it sits idling for a while. Any ideas?
Also a 89-98 Cadillac Deville Seville or Eldorado 4.9liter air cleaner will work as well. I've seen a few people use those.
