I've had this car apart for a long time. Can someone please refresh me on the purpose of the small port just beside the center tunnel on the driver's side? It's apparently a metal tube and the end of it protrudes enough into the passenger compartment that I had to modify my Engman kit before installing.

THANK YOU!!! That makes perfect sense.
I actually have a section of engine-side firewall from a side-shifter car which I plan to graft in so that it looks factory after the trans swap. I guess I would have figured out what that tube was at that point. PS: The car did have a center belt and the driver side bolt interfered with the shifter rod. Was nearly impossible to adjust. |
