first series cars; Stephane Bergeron tried to put one in #1256 with no 
luck.   Fortunately he was able to sell it to Roger Coates, who (I believe) 
successfully installed it in his GT5-S.

>>>The early cars ducted the air to the center of the airbox, controlled 
with one of the three levers on the dash.   The USA-modified 'pull for fresh 
air' cars, I can't remember where their air comes in?   Then there was no 
fresh air induction for awhile, and then in mid-'73, air was ducted from the 
right side of the car above the passenger' feet, into the right side of the 
fan intake, with a box hung on the side of the heater box.

>>>That's a pretty safe bet--the later cars used the unit straight out of 
contemporary Maseratis.
