64 engine harness clips - non A/C car

[Ron L.]

Let me first state that my VIN production number is 000286. I only state this, as I have found a couple of 63 carryover applications because it was so early in the 1964 production run. 1964 NCRS Technical Manual (Spring 1998), Page 114 - e. states there are 3 push-in post type plugs on each side of the inner fenders. I'm OK on the headlamp harness side, but somewhat befuddled on the right side. Thus, wondering if someone could tell me where the push-in plugs are located. I have one hole across from where the middle push-in is located on left side. But, no hole for one on either side of that one. I do see a hole toward the front and hope I can get a picture posted of that hole. If that is not used for a push-in, then what is it for. In looking at that hole on the right side, be it known that I have put a 67 Stinger hood on the car, so the hood support is located on the left side rather than the right side.

Thanks Don. So - the spot I pointed to in my picture (there was some coating material burped out of it) does not serve any purpose? If not, I think I will fill it in. And, that push-in strap next to the overflow tank is exactly opposite of the clip on the left side?

Ron, That hole you point to in your photo should have a wire clip in it. Don't fill it in, drill it out.

Thanks Joe - is that hole for one of those push in straps? Also, is the strap on the right side inner fender closest to the expansion tank straight across from the strap on the left side inner fender?

The rear holes on my car are 2" forward of the shoulder of the inner fender, and the left one is slightly higher up than the right one..

Thank you everyone. As usual, a picture speaks a thousand words. And, on we go on this rebuild.
