First step is to identify the vehicle. Today we will be on working on a 1972 pontiac lemans sport. It is good to identify the vehicle in case you need to look up anything for it

Since this is a carbureted engine the air filter is located at the top.

Remove the spin nut at the top to be able to remove the top of the air filter housing

Remove to top plate to find the air filter located underneath

Remove the old air filter to inspect if it is dirty or not. I put it next to the new one to show the comparison

After removing the air filter, Inspect the inside of the housing for debris. This one would need to be cleaned out

Install the new air filter and its housing. Since I'm using a different style air filter housing, I changed both it and the air filter. This new one will allow it to breathe more and give it a better look

Install the housing cap. I got a custom one painted for this vehicle

Hand tighten the spin nut and it is ready to go
