Hey Joe,
Am I missing something or aren't you really trying to cool all of Texas
with this setup? I know that when I'm driving the old Spit around,
there's constant mixing of cockpit air with the rest of the atmosphere.
Now if you were doing this in a car with a roof and the windows rolled
up, I could see where this might be a useful thing, but... Oh, wait, I
think I see what I missed. Oops.

PS. I know an oil cooler sure helped on my Spit. It runs cool as a
cucumber now. Also, I don't know if the Midget has cardboard air
deflectors like Triumphs, but if it does, make sure those are in place.
They help air move through the right places in the engine compartment
and can really help cooling. Good luck.
