I'm curious about the air at the front grill of a car.  Is it clean enough
to duct to the carb for inlet air?  Is there a "dead air space" at the
front, or is that a high pressure area and good for air inlet?  Is it better
to snorkel out from the front edge of the grill?
Curious minds want to know.
