70 Road Runner firewall

[beebest]

Any idea what this hole would have been for?
70 Road Runner non ac car.

Custom addition to the car.

Custom addition to the car.

Possibly, awfully low on firewall to be added unless engine was out. Also doesn't look drilled on the inside unless someone deburred it perfectly.

If You took a broader view of the area it would be easier to inform you. Being that it appears to be near the accelerator cable hole I think r413 is correct

looks stamped...... hmmmmm

 

[R413]

Thing is what would go through there in that area on a non A/C car? Nothing I can think of.
I've owned many of these 70's.

Firewall (without A/C) - 66-70 Dodge Plymouth B-Body

Our firewalls are OE style and include all the holes, fasteners, bends and slots of the original. We even matched the OE wrinkles. This is an important part since many other components are attached or related so you can count on our panels to fit correctly right out of the box.

Yes close to accelerator cable hole. Similar to AMD firewall, not as large and a bit lower.

Looks like accelerator pedal linkage support. Maybe the car was supposed to go overseas?

Never knew there was such a thing. I would have welded it shut when I prepped engine bay, but looked factory to me. I'll probably just put a cap plug in it now, if they make them for 1/2 holes.

the AMD picture shows a big hole in the front view, an no hole in the rear view

 

[beebest]

I missed that!

 

[eldubb440]

grommet and tach wire?


reverse light column vs console?

 

[beebest]

Column shift car, reverse light is part of wiper harness.
Has tach which may have been added, as grommet hole is just below bulkhead.

 

[eldubb440]

A/C 4 sp car

That's the general area of the evap drain on an AC car.

 

[beebest]

Mine is a Lynch road car if that makes a difference.

I was thinking that too

 

[R413]

Did they change the passenger side of the firewall to a non A/C and leave this hole behind?

Can you show us the passenger side of your firewall? Do you know the difference?

 

[beebest]

Definitely not changed. Picture of where I stripped it prior to paint and picture after. My 5th road runner, I've had both ac and non ac cars, just never seen this before and was just curious. Not a big deal, already found a cap plug in my stash.

Sorry, even though I looked at the first photo, for some reason I only paid attention to the reinforcement above the hole that your arrow was pointing too. Dah to me! Looks like someone drilled a hole for a shortcut to the engine bay.
