I'm sure I have a couple around here somewhere. I also have the 
correct air tubes for both sides of your engine. Soren is correct; 
those tubes should feed non-heated air forward to the mixer boxes on 
either side of the tranny. The port you've connected the copper elbow 
to is for preheat air to early carbed engines; that port should 
probably be plugged on your engine.

Those bits of corrugated alum foil flex tubes that you've used to 
connect the elbows to the heat exchangers won't last long. That's one 
of the downsides of the aftermarket exhausts, and the little short 
piece that holds the elbow to the fan housing will also disintegrate, 
meaning that you'll then lose the elbow, too. If you really want to 
try this, use some wire to tie the elbows to the engine, so when they 
come loose, they don't fall completely off.

I'll be out of town for the rest of this week, but if you want those 
parts, email me and we can take care of it in a few days.
