Re: Mystery Holes in Firewall 23rd Series

The car came with a heater and spent most of its life in Illinois. So, cold yes but I don't think it was cold enough to justify an alternate heater. I looked under the dash (so much easier with the entire front seat out) and yes, there are 2 quarter inch holes drilled one on each side of the heater/air controls. Another thought... when I got the Packard the oil filter had been removed and the oil lines crimped off leaving only the pigtail. I always thought that was a very odd thing to do to a 356 engine. Now I wonder if the oil filter was removed to make room for a compressor.

I guess I'll never know for sure. I'll just seal them up and continue with the carpet job.

paulg3... I am using the same Beams belts and got the rear belts installed yesterday along with the rear carpet.

Thanks to all for your input.
