Default Need help finding air filter

Well sit was a bittersweet day today. The vette was towed away to the paint shop. Im posting because i need to find an air filter for it. This sounds very simple but i cant find any sites that have good dimensions. The throttle body is about 4.75x2.825. Is this the standard GM throttle body size?? anyone have a link to where i can buy one. Im running the Accel superram setup, Ill call them tomorrow if i have to but i was hoping to order this tonight as the painter needs it ASAP to know where to mount the hoodscoop.

Thanks guys

Heres some pics:

Sorry Mike, Can't help you with the air filter question.

However, what size rims are you running front and rear? Also the backspacing you ordered?

Thanks

Do you need just and air filter or whole assembly?? If you need just the air filter take the assembly to an auto parts store and let them size it. If it's the assembly then go to a parts store with the measurements and let them tell you what you need. Then either buy it there or get one online.

Just need the filter. The parts stores around here are dumb. They always tell me they can only look up by manufacturer and wont move there dumb lazy asses to try to get something that will work for me. (happened with rad hoses and a few other things).
I know the measurements i need, i just cant seem to find one online.

This guy in manteca is doing it. He speciallizes in custom jobs on classic cars, checked him out and seen his work and all, looks pretty good.
