Hi Adam,
On the Glastar, the cooling baffles on the Lyc O-320 go down along
the front of the engine as well as going along the top. You can see in
this picture here:

I cut two small holes in the aluminum baffling, just to the right
of the starter in this picture, and behind the white wire for the
landing light:

This area is pressurized from air coming in the two cowling holes which
you can see here:

In the first picture you can see the scat tubing going from those
two holes, back to the Rotec TBI.
One is directed at the base of the TBI:

and the other to the regulator:
