1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter

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

Yeah I figured that out that hole and threaded bracket is for the six cylinder and the old rod. The V8 is the one next to the bulkhead. Looks like all the cars got that hole even if they didn’t have a six.
