I agree with Dan, cooling your gascolator in a tightly enclosed cowling is important. A friend of mine crashed his KR because of vapor lock, he did not have cooling to his gascolator and was doing touch and goes. Not enough cooling air flowing to save him. Larry H.

I cool my gascolator with a 1/2 SCAT tube coming off the air in the baffled area. I see no reason why your NACA inlet won't work, but don't put any stock in that. Check http://www.vansaircraft.com/index.htm For NACA vents and other things. They have good prices on stuff.
