Ed, the fresh air opening in the nose bowl is only about 1 1/4" in diameter.  I think that he's asking about either the oil tank cooler hole or the carburetor air inlet hole.

John,

 

That’s the opening for the cabin air.  You should have, or get, tubing from that opening to the flapper for the cabin air.

 

I got great airflow from that opening.

Hello all,, Response was great.. 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?  Thanks, John #93735
