...Well, I'm busted. My english language limitations leave me stupid now.
Profile means tire thread in german. You probably use it as diameter. My T-Bird has an appx. tire diameter of 26" I think.
I can't speak for your 64, but the 58 Lincoln that I'm working on has the original 600 cfm Holley carb mounted. I wouldn't go w. a higher cfm rating for the reasons I mentioned in my previous post (Low End Velocity and torque).
The tubes that run from the grill to the carb is exactly what I'm refering too. An other cool way how to duct cold air is from the cowl hoses. Those are the holes where rain water usually exits the cowl via some short rubber hoses. Just plug in there. You'll need to think about how to exit the water though. A smaller hole in those duct tubes will be fine I think.
You're welcome
