So something came up the other night on a Barrett Jackson auction. So the one guy taking about the cars pointed to a factory hole in the firewall on a 70 Super bird for the vacuum line to go to the headlights. He said only the Super Bird has this hole. Well my Roadrunner has this hole. I have enclosed a pic of the hole. In the finished pic you can see the red power wire for my amp going through it.
I have enclosed a pic of my fender tag. Can anyone help me decode it for me?
When I restore this I had no clue this could be a Super Bird.
Thanks

Yea it is thought that was it but after looking closer too high up
 
Since we’re talking about holes what is the hole in the lower part of the shock tower in the pic?

Last line of the fender tag:
RM = Belvedere/Satellite - Medium level
21 = 2 door Coupe
N = 383 4 bbl
0 = 1970
G = St Louis Plant

All Superbird VINs would start with:
RM23_0A

No Birds had a 5th digit of N, as the base engine ("smallest") was the U code, 440-4 bbl.

I hope this answered your questions.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I appreciate you!!
 
The hole for the vacuum line plug is larger than the tach wire hole (below).

Yea I had to chuckle when he said that hole is only on superbirds.....How about a 68-69 Charger with the same hole for the vacuum operated headlight doors? I was surprised too because Steve Magnante is usually pretty good with those facts.
