The engine cover, I believe is one that was manufactured/used over in the states for the Buick's over there. In order to get the cover here in Aus is a bit of a mission. I know of someone who has one though, I think it was an ebay buy.

Is that not part of the gas setup?

It dosent look standard to me.

 

[sawychri06]

i saw 1 at the wreckers and didnt know what it was can anybody shed some light

I'd suggest something with gas too, like 88GreenVN suggested, it doesnt look standard. Usually its the standard intake piping bent 90 Degrees to the throttle body.

95% sure thats a gas regulator thing, (not sure what there called)

as for the engine cover, as stated above its from the states, by memory it was on late 80's early 90's buick bonneville's
