74 Challenger firewall. The hole is dimpled inward. Just wondering what it was for.
That's the hole we used to use to run a wee hose from the whisky filled w/w container to a carefully clamped, concealed and aimed hose end under the dash, so when you hit the w/washer you got a nice shot dispensed. Didn't everybody? Don't forget the Coke! :drinkingbud:
This is all of the pictures that I have in my files.
Must be a 74 only thing :dunno:
I see plenty of photos on the WWW of '74s with the hole but never anything in it.
It's known the b-bodies shared the firewall with e-bodies.
The b-body had fender braces that anchored to the spot where your mystery hole is.
My theory is they added the hole to all stampings.

So B bodies and E bodies used the same firewall? I've just learned something. Many more to go of course. :slapme5:
:clapping:
I didn't know that either Wade! Thanks learned something new! :ohyeah:

That could be it @Bullitt- (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/bullitt_218) I also didn't know b and e bodies shared the firewall.

Looking through my 74 photo collection, not every car got the firewall hole. Here are 3 examples without it. My car did get it. :thinking:
In 73 a capacitor was mounted in that location. For what, I'm not sure. Radio?
