Thanks Jim...I hadn't seen that in my service manual before. Also explains the mystery orange and grey plugs in the front of my fuse box that I hadn't followed thru the car yet...

Indeed this is the location of my mystery wire, and yes Bjorn I do have two holes in the floorboard here that have been filled with seam sealer.

Very interesting! Just a round clock housing bolted to the floor...

I would love to find one of these clocks/housing/bracket, etc. Or even just see a live photo of anyone who actually has this accessory installed on their Bird like this, bolted straight to the floor.

I have never seen one, or even a photo of one. I wonder how common this accessory choice was for non-console cars? And how many survivors are actually out there.
