Yellow Button

Trying here and Mods if I'm in the wrong place please toss it to the correct forum.

New to me 64 Valiant. I do know that it was built for racing at one point in its life but probably hasn't seen a track in over a decade.

I'm perplexed by these yellow buttons on either side of the engine compartment. (zoom in on the photos they are near the hood hinge/ECU and coil) I initially thought they might be a kill switch of some sort but they don't do anything as far as I can tell. They are also not tall enough to be a detent for an alarm or something

Any thoughts from the racing community?

Thanks

Chris

Hood safety switches, hood flies up it kills motor. That is why they are on both sides. Likely disconnected after track years.
