Don reportedly forced air from deleted out board head lights to the carburators. Does anyone have photos of the carburator end of the system? What did the carb box look like? Where/how did the duct hose connect?
Most of those type had dual snorkle air cleaner base the hoses attach to Ford Lightning Bolts also had them. Spectre and another company make some now.
I remember in the old days, that aluminum duct work would pick up just as much heat as not having it at all. You need something that doesn't conduct heat so well. Carl has the right stuff.
Fellows...I appreciate the photos. But what I am looking for isn't a "how to"...but old photos showing what was on Nicholson's car...period correct. Thanks Russ
Russ, I have quite a few old magazines that I have been looking through but have yet to see a picture of Nicholson's air duct system. If I find one you will be the first to know. Their must be one some where.
Thanks for all the help. The mystery is solved. I have a good friend who remembers Nicholson's car at the 63 Nationals. The ram tubes from the headlites went directly to the top of the carburators...no air box. We have an old photo that varifies this. His car in later photos had velocity stacks sealed to a hood scoop. I have a photo of the Jack Shaw car with headlites taped over the inlets...so there may have been a "rule" issue. The ram systems appears to have been abandoned on both cars.
