My 48 super deluxe coupe has a hole in the firewall with no plug, can't figure out what it is used for, should I just plug it up? See photo for location, its the hole between the two wires

On trucks that's where the speedo, choke, and throttle cables come thru.

Must be another 46-48 Ford you can look at at a show?

I just did a quick look on Google, and it looks like most people have the vacuum line for the wipers going thru there.

The light blue one is a 41 and the maroon one is a 42.

where did find the grommet for the 41?

Actually my '41 heater doesn't have tubes located in that position(stock 41'48). Mine are about where the lower left tube is and about where the knockout remains below the hole between the wires.
