Finally was able to get under the car for an inspection.
Found one side has a cap on what I believe is the heater control and the other side does not. Am I missing a cap or should only one side have this cap? Oh, Driver side has the cap, Passenger side does not.   |

Missing something? Yes, the cap on the passenger side. Not sure how it came off...

There is a bulletin to remove that cap and attach a hose to direct heat away from thr fuel pump on pre 75 cars. The air under the car is flowing toward the back of the car. Cool is above the tin for cooling fan and induction. |

QUOTE(cabrioartie @ Oct 17 2026, 04:42 PM)  Any body have a part number for this cap? No part number for the cap. Not really needed. 914-6 had a big hole in those caps to vent more hot air. Only down side is if it heats the fuel pump. |
