Trying to locate part - air cleaner - air filter housing

I have a 1994 Mark VIII. I noticed a busted part yesterday and it needs replacing. It's where you install the air filter. It's the plastic part that attaches to the front of the car, above where the air enters. I has the mass air flow sensor (i think) attached to it and the air filter sits between them. The plastic screw mounts are snapped off so there's nothing to screw and lock it down to. As a result I don't have a tight fit and am more or less bypassing the the air filter for whatever air gets in.

Any help is greatly appreciated-
Thanks!

Check your locak junk yard and check ebay I see them all the time.

Is it the airbox? I'm not sure the exact name. Do you have a pic of it or I can email a pic of mine to confirm the part is right?

Thanks-

I have one...but depending on where the cracks are, your air filter should still be filtering.

the air enters the bottom...the filter sits at about a 45 degree angle above that with the highest portion being closest to the front of the car. If the base is cracked, then the air is getting filtered. if the lid, or top is cracked, it is "post" air filtration(not good). If it's one of the two top screw locations that wont fasten the lid down on to the base, just use wire-ties.

I have a spare airbox, stock, un-drilled...they are worth about $60 with MAF attached.....
