Default What's missing here?

My 1970 vette has a place on the passenger side inner fender, that has a hole in it. There is also a drilled hole next to it. Did something originally go here, or is it Bubba strikes? It's an L46, so it does not have the metal overflow tank. Also, the two drilled holes to the upper left of the big hole, are from an earlier aftermarket overflow tank. I'm just trying to figure out if any stock item went there.

it looks like the area where the wiper door vacumn valve was connected to, usually there is a small plate rivited to the area then the valve is bolted to it

I think the 69 had it there, but not a 70. It almost looks like a rock kicked up and punched a hole through the wheel well. There's nothing there on my 70 that I remember.

I think you are correct...can't think of anything else my 72 has.

Hmm. I think my friend's '71 has a relay valve there. I'll have to double check with him. It does look like a jagged hole; I just wasn't sure about the drilled hole immediately next to it. Thanks.
