Hey

I have these 2 spots on the driver side firewall.  One spot with two holes that look like something gets screwed there and the other larger hole a bit above it. (I know it's the manual washer pump on 70-71 cars but what about later models? 

I took so many pictures taking what was left of the car apart, put them all on a computer and backed them up on a external hard drive but dumb me left that hard drive connected and a ransom virus bricked everything. I really appreciate the help anyone can give me.

I stand to be corrected, but I believe the big hole is for the clutch rod on a stick car and the two wee ones are to mount the high beam dimmer switch.

My vote is the two little screw holes are for the washer foot pump, but i dont think they had manual washers in 73. The larger round hole is for the 2 lines in out for the foot pump.maybe the speedometer cable. The oval hole with the plug installed is for the clutch pedal rod.

I agree, 2 small holes are for washer bracket.
I cut off the bulb and flipped it upside down to hold my OD controller.

My 73 had the manual foot pump.It actually worked quite well.
