Steering Column Bracket/holder?
Anyone know what this empty holder is for?It’s mounted to the base of my steering column under the dash. Looks like it could hold a flashlight or something? 1965 coupe.
thanks
Holder?

Interesting, I have a new spare ignition coil besides other small parts (points, condenser, plug wire, etc.) in my travel tool bag maybe you could clip in a back up ignition coil just in case?

Look in an old JC Whitney catalog. It's a beer bottle holder for when you get pulled over by the cops. <totally pulling your leg>
If you were to swing it so it hangs down below the column, would your shins hit it?

whatever it is, get it the hell out of there.. It's clutter you don't need.
