What is this hole for? With the AC box it is blocked... @GTX JOHN brought a mint early timing cover for a small block down from Vegas since he was racing at Tucson Dragway. Thanks John, great meeting you and this was a great part for a great price.

That hole is for the throttle rod. Or maybe cable, not sure what year they switched. On my 63 it is where the throttle rod for the slant 6 passes through from the pedal assembly. Maybe on the air conditioned car it is routed differently? I attached a picture of my engine bay before I finished tearing it down with the throttle rod
