I was just looking at these pics I took a couple of weeks ago of a Central Coast '58 4-cam speedster, and I noticed something I hadn't realized before:
On these 4-cam cars, they apparently didn't want the engine-intake-air to mix with the cooling air - is that right? I think the intake grill is for the engine cooling fan only, with louvered openings in the deck lid for the carb air. Notice the seals between the carbs and the lid? Anyone know why?
