67 with a factory automatic consol, on the top front of the consol(under the dash) is a factory hole with two smaller holes on either side to mount something? does anyone know whats suppose to be there?
thx scott:yes:

Clock? Are you sure they are factory drilled holes?

yes im preety sure, i turned the dash over and around this hole is molded stiffeners in the plastic to keep it from cracking out?

Scott - a picture might help.

Is the bigger hole slightly oval?

Yes, I noticed this hole the other day when I was reconditioning my 68 manual tranny console and I'm thinking it's for the factory installed gauges which mount to the console?

I'm thinking its probably the clock, if it is drill bit size hole, oval middle, and another drill bit size hole. Pic would help, probably not the full gauges.

Factory clock

i have a pic but know how to upload it i would have thought you could up load right from your computer? so ill send them to a couple of you guys if ya dont mind posting please!!!

what the console would be with gauges (without them installed)

There is a difference from the factory, but you could use the one you have. All you have to do is cut a hole that matches the 'footprint' of the gauge cluster. The part you have to cut out is all plastic, so it shouldn't be too terribly difficult. Score the plastic with a sharp utility knife and then cut out the opening with a coping saw or hacksaw blade. I have a console with gauges if you want me to trace the opening for you.

thx all, not having to buy that other consol saves another 300.00 bucks! problee i would buy the gauge package and use them to trace out on the plastic or make some sort of adapter that goes on top of my consol but attaches to the gauge pod.
thx again scott

Make sure you look at a console made for gauges because it's not just one big hole. The bottom part of the hole has two small holes meant to line up the gauges or stabilize them or something. Here is a picture of a console with the gauges out:

Check out these pics from 67familyfun on a prvious dicusion about this. He shows how he did it without cutting the console. There is a post in same dicussion where I have pics from where I cut a console to do it.

Good point, Andy. I thought about that thread before I submitted my earlier response because his 'conversion' came out real nice, but I'd much rather cut a hole in the plastic than try to carve of the bottom of a metal gauge cluster. Six of one, half-dozen of the other I suppose. I guess it depends on how badly you want to keep the console in its original condition.
