Thanks Charles. So the hole in the tunnel is the 4-speed speedo cable hole and the one under the brake line was for C4/3-speed cars and should be plugged?
Back to the 4 speed hole in Metuchen cars...I had my Jan 6 1966 car on the lift today and examined the area in question: there definitely never was a hole for the speedo cable in that area. My car originally (I think) came with a T-10, but now has a toploader. I wonder...since there were two different 4 speeds in 65/66, if the hole is toploader specific or not...
Incidentally, the photo I posted previously was also of a Jan '66 Metuchen GT fastback originally with a 4 speed.
Charles is that the car you had mentioned sometime back about possibly doing another resto blog on?
Randy: Your car had quite a bit of rust repair didn't it? I wonder if a previous repair to the toe-panel area on the driver side might have been done around where the hole would be? Incidentally, the photo I posted previously was also of a Jan '66 Metuchen GT fastback originally with a 4 speed.
Isn't the 4 speed hole in the transmission hump? That's the area I was checking. And all of my sheet metal replacement was via patching, not full panel replacements. The tranny hump did not need any repairs for rust. My speedo cable did have the foam rubber insert and when I bought the car in 1998, the speedo cable came through what every one is calling the C4 hole in the firewall.
Sorry if I'm making this more confusing, but here's a shot of where the speedometer comes through on my 4-speed '66. You can see the 4-speed cable coming through on the transmission tunnel, to the right of the gas pedal.
