Bait a rat trap with peanut butter. Slide it inside an open paper lunch bag. Check trap tomorrow. Deposit bag, dead rat, and trap in garbage.

I don't think he was referring to the engine.

Is it dead and stinking or still alive?
I vote for the trap loaded with Skippy creamy. They don'y like chunky.

If it is dead the only way is take the dash apart to get it out. But I am assuming it is still alive. If peanut butter doesn't work use raw hamburger and mix rat poison in it. That will get him.

Leave him there, he'll keep the mice away! Just don't let him crawl up your leg while driving.

I would try a trap once then take the dash apart. you would not believe the dammage a rat can do in a VERY short amount of time, like overnight

Use a trap and not poison.
Trap should kill instantly whereas the poison could take time to kill allowing him to climb up into the nether regions behind the dash and die. Then comes the stink.

A guy I work with had a rat get in his '68. Chewed just about every wire apart before he could get it out.

I'm wondering how it got in there in the first place. Are there any open access points in the firewall where gromets are missing? If so, plug em up so you don't get another one in there.
Good luck
