I could have sworn that my inverted housing had A.O. Engineering molded into it. I just went out to the garage to check and found out that I was mistaken. It has:

Automotive Performance International Inc
Seattle, WA

I'll be damned! I don't know why I thought it was an A.O. piece.

Jep
Dont sweat it Jep a lot of those companies have come and gone by now. I knew what you were talking about as well but sure did not know who made it. IS API even in business any more ?


Well I just called

API INC 7609 California Ave SW Seattle, WA 98136‎
(206) 992-4125

Somebody answered the phone.

UPDATE 02/25/13

After much contemplation, I decided to modify the AO design specs for the air inlet to receive what I feel is a better air flow.

A pattern will be made and then it's off to the aluminum foundry for mold pouring. The next step will be vacuum forming the part.

A new air filter lid is being designed as well. About the only design aspect similar to the original AO unit will be the ducting hose diameter.

Daryll,

Thanks for the contact info. I just got in touch with Dan at API and he said he thinks that he has a couple of air filter lids(with scoops) around for these units. He also said that he may also have some of the housings, as well. He is going to supply me with installation instructions and a template for cutting the radiator shroud. Once he digs up what he has left and calls me back, I will get pricing info on any remaining units in case anyone is interested.

Jep

Looks like I'll be ok. I just bought a complete unit off of ebay last night. I have all the pieces I need now. I really appreciate the offer, Sammy.

I'm making the first hand laid license pocket air inlet today. The production units will be vacuum formed though.
