Default 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?

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....
