Hey Mac: I will try to include a picture of a nose bowl with the hole. I am not sure how to do this, as I think the Yahoo groups link cuts out any files. Lynn In a message dated 5/5/2010 10:37:43 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Although I believe you are correct, the parts manual does not show any such parts, or a hole in the nose bowl. Mine (SN 977) has no indication of one. Was it an extra or was it on certain serial number coupes? I am going to just do it anyway and play like it was there for the last 64 years. --- In [email protected], iflysmo...@... wrote: > > Hey guys & Gals:The original fresh air intake was a hole on the RH side of > the nose bowl, and connected to the fresh air valve on the fire wall.
