High new 73 owner from Ill.

Came across this site while tring to find some answers on my Mach 1 and looks to be a very good site with very knowlegable people.I have a 1973 Mach 1 Q-code Red black stripes 351 cj .I have had it about 1yr 9mo. and have been working on it since I got it home.I have replaced all four aprons under hood , rad. support floor pans(full length both sides) ,both rear quarters , outter wheel houseings ,trunk pan , rear tail panal .I have it painted and starting to put it back together . When I was installing the heater/air cond. box ,by the drawing I have , the blower heater combo shows three studs going thru the firewall I only have two one on the blower one on the heater/air box.I am missing something on the right side of the heater/air box by the grommet that holds the insulation .This has been driving me crazy for about three days totaly lost can not figure out what goes in that hole.Any Ideas!

Welcome to the site from Virginia. Sorry, I can't help with your heater issue, but someone here should be able to help. You may want to post another thread under Maintenance and Repair asking the question in the title as everyone may not read the introduction threads. Good luck!
