John.
Before you run out ordering tubing and so, make
sure that your Coupe does really have an cold air in box on the
firewall.
I believe the cold air was added to later models ,
maybe from 1947 on. Nose bowls are easily exchangeable, so it might not be the
original one.
Otherwise you would have to add the cold air inlet
to the firewall of your plane. That might require a 337.
If there is the cold air box inlet, you will find
it most likely on the upper region of the firewall.
If the installation is just missing the tube from
the nose bowl to the air box, you should have a knob at the dashboard labeled
fresh air or so.
Otherwise you'll have to install all that, which is
actually an easy job to do.

I will go to Terrell soon,, and see Mr. Hardin,, It is a relief that a coupe mechanic is so close by.. The trip was fun,, a little tiring, but a fun adventure,, Other concern,, was oil temp,, I landed one time and let oil cool down,, I have since found that temp may have been o.k. for my setup,, One question,, There is a small hole in the front right of nose bowl,, about 2-3 inches in diameter,, It appears to be just about in line with oil tank,, It had a screen over it,, Looked like screen that is used on a house window,, anyway,, it had been completely covered with paint.. No air flow.. On my second day of flight,, I removed screen,, to let air flow,, It seemed to lower oil temp.. Was removing screen a good or bad thing to do?? Is hole suppose to help cool oil tank?
