Default What are these holes in my firewall for?

Hi Everyone...I was hoping to get some help on what these holes in my firewall are for. I have done a bunch of research and I think I have good ID's on most of them.

Here is the key:

Red with labels = I'm pretty sure what attaches here...
Blue with labels = something that needs repaired
Green with numbers = I need to know what attaches here or if it needs to be filled.





Thanks in advance for the help.

4&5 are for the screws for the fuse box. 1,3&7 and several that are labeled grommet are for the rubber push pin for the firewall insulation. Trying to figure out where your horn relay holes went to?

It is a '64 so my horn relay holes are on the fender...I should have thought to mention it is a '64. Thanks for the help.

What are the 2 holes in the blue rectangle for? I've seen them on a/c and non a/c cars. Thanks

Those holes appear to be from an installation of an aftermarket a/c unit, there is also a hole drilled in the floor for the drain hose. I'm planning on trimming out the metal between the holes and welding a new piece in that area.

Thanks to Cardo's help I have done a little more research on the firewall pad. It looks like that pad has 7 push through fasteners. If that is correct then at this point hole #2 is the only mystery...

Does #2 belong on a factory firewall? Thanks.

I Just checked (a picture) of my firewall, and it doesn't have a hole at #2, but there is a dimple there. Drilled by previous owner possibly? My firewall does not have hole #6 either. Any idea what that one is for?

Thanks for the help. I have no idea on #6 but I did find a picture posted by Mr. Boneske where I it looks like it is present. A PO my have drilled the #2, the underside of the dash looks like it had a gauge set hung. Not a bad spot to run an oil line to a pressure gauge.
