<div>Can you please answer a question for me?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On my 49 Mercury, under the hood, on the back of each inner fender well near the firewall (see picture) is a 5-6 inch hole (facing the firewall) that goes into the inner fender well. I saw these as I was giving the car to the shop to try to get my A/C and other things working again so I did not have time to check them out, but curiosity is killing me… </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any idea what they are for, or where they go to. </div>

<div>I have a performance problem with the 49 when the motor gets hot, and the heat builds up under the hood. . The air cleaner starts sucking in tons of “hot” air and the performance suffers. When the engine is cold it runs much much better. I am looking for some way to get cold air into the carb. I picked up a 70 Charger dual snorkel air cleaner to see if that helps. Ideally I want to pipe the snorkels to some cold air source. These “holes” in the inner fender wells could be great for this if I knew what they were for and where they went to, and if I could somehow get cold from them.</div>

<div>Any ideas????</div>
