Malo48 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Hi all, Is there a coupling or flange of some sort that connects the under-hood passenger-side air duct to the cowl around the radiator? There's just an open, 2 1/2" hole on mine, whereas the coupling/flange on the driver's side is present (connects to air cleaner). Just wondering, before I make up a piece for it. Thanks!

Grandpa Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Malo48, The attached picture is the air inlet fitting (located under the hood on the passenger side firewall) with the air control damper & original hose clamp. Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malo48 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks Grandpa. That piece is in place on my firewall. Is there another one that connects the other side of the air duct? There's an opening just to the right (passenger side) of the radiator where I assume the duct would lead, but there's nothing there to clamp it on to. Thanks for the pic - I have been wondering what the clamps are supposed to look like. Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Malo48, The original hose clamp for the passenger side air hose, pictured above, is marked as size "A16". Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas J. Bianculli Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I have a 1940 Super with the same fixture at the firewall and nothing at the fender. I have had the car 47 years and there was nothing there when I got it. There is however a scoop in the grille area to direct air to the duct. I bought a piece of duct and just shoved it through. There is one clamp or strap on the fender well halfway between cowl and core support to hold it up. I thought I had located everything, now I have another part to worry about if it exists???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den41Buick Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I know the piece you are talking about. In a dual carb setup there is a fitting on both sides. I am missing one on the carb side of the car. Actually looking for one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malo48 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Just for reference, this is the hole - this is viewed looking forward on the passenger side. The radiator is just to the left, out of the frame. It doesn't look like there's anything that mounts to this (no holes for mounting/attaching hardware).
