Default Re: FACTORY COWL HOOD

-----There are documented examples of cowl hood delivered 69 Camaros with the cowl harness hole in the firewall not drilled in the correct place. The hole isnt far off, but its not where the dimple is. Do we chalk it up to "hole driller indifference??? I would think the hole was drilled manually and not punched, but I dont know.......Bill S

I believe you are correct Bill. Both of the referenced holes on the firewall pic I posted have small burrs on the inside of the firewall left from the drill bits. None of the punched holes (for instance the four around the brake booster hole) have burrs. I know it to be a factory ducted hood car.

I have seen several slight variations in the placement of each of these holes. The assy manual shows where to drill, but they didn't all get drilled exactly as planned in the manual. Imagine that.
