35/36 Ford Dash Holes - what goes where?
 

Hey fellas,



I've been wondering what the holes on a 1935 1936 closed car dash are 4. This is not my dash but I do need to get mine situated.

I numbered the pic to make it easier (for me, haha).



Thanks in advance.

Could number 5 be for a Columbia Overdrive?

They fastened on the bottom edge of the dash for the '35-'36 Columbia switch.

Note the columbia overdrive switch. Unless someone wanted a "cleaner" look and was able to install it from behind minus the on/off plate?

Most likely a 36 heater control cable

Or a switch for the heater fan motor....

If hole 5 is 3 1/4" from hole 4 then it was for the accessory heater vent cable as shown in the attached images.

You nailed it Don - for control of the manifold heater. I was thinking of an after-market hot water heater....

Don, My 35 has that set up and I also picked up the correct 35 piece. I wil not use it as rhe 35 works fine and the Car is For Sale. AACA wiiner and Early Ford V8 First at the Ct. Eastern meet Could be a Dearborn easily as some of the things have been up dated or corrected.. kerk
