Re: Need help filling in Mystery holes.

A lot of those holes are used to help hold on the firewall cover. There are a funny rubber plug type holder used. Hope this helps!

Re: Need help filling in Mystery holes.

Thanks guys this site is great! Any one know if they make a cover for the clutch rod hole since it is no longer in use and if so where can I buy one? Did an automatic come with a cover over it?

Re: Need help filling in Mystery holes.

Don't think anyone is making that clutch cover. Asked "teeitup" or "billsbowtie" on here. They might have one of those covers.

Re: Need help filling in Mystery holes.

On my 67, #3 and a matching screw hole just to the left of #6, are for the engine ground straps.
