There should be a foam seal that fits between trans. and tunnel to keep hot engine compartment air from heating up cabin. mike.

i just installed the heat shield when restoring my 78. it's correct and not bubba at all. the reason you may be unfamilar with them is that by now not too many have survived to be recognizable for what they are when you look up under your car, nlol!
