Re: 59 Dash Question
theres a few threads on this, but i THINK from left to right its...
Headlight, custom hole, choke, ignition (below ignition is custom hole) ash tray, wipers, ciggarette, throttle, heater - and stereo below wiper/cigarette/throttle - this hole is also custom enlarged |

Re: 59 Dash Question
Thanks, I made it to figure out extra gauges and ac louvers. The Factory Assembly manual has the info but not in one place. I did not show the vent pulls that mount under the dash since I was not using the pulls, I just put a looped rod down on the vent itself when mine started binding up.

Re: 59 Dash Question
Since I wasn't using a choke or throtte (WHO Does unless your using a stock engine?) I moved the wiper hole to the left side where the choke would be, and after 'deleting' the throttle, i used the holes on either side of the cig lighter for the vents, looks pretty good, and no low hanging knobs
cant tell it wasn't made like that.... after removing the hanging bracket on my new vent cables it was VERY easy to attach them to the two holes up in the dash
