Dash Configuration Reference

[FloridaLife]

FD is connect to a cable that operates a vacuum switch for four drive when pulled. Two wheel drive when pushed in. The ball below is used for high, range/neutral/low/range. It has pin out the side of the lever to pull the FD knob out when in low range. The lever is connected to a rod running behind the dash. It's this rod that needs to go when cutting a hole for a radio.

Plug for the light will be close to the heater hoses.

Thought I had photo of the plug on my phone but didn't f see it. Here is the vent knob.

Mine has the FD pull, but not the cowl vent pull to the right of it. So I wonder where it is?

8/71 if you ignore the improvised dash pad cover and the temp gauge below the drivers left pad it should be close to stock. The empty hole next to the hazard light pull is the lighter socket. That knob is in the glove box.

There are two blanks. One between the choke and the hazard that was the hand throttle? And one on the far right past the glove box that was the soft top light?

My 1970 FJ40 has the same knob protruding from under the dash just to the left of the heater. What is that knob for?

On mine its the fresh air cowl vent control for the one by the hood.

Thanks for the reply. I am in my first attempt at a body off restoration and I am in the tear down mode. I am trying to understand what all the knobs do for when I put it back together. So, the knob I was referring to is the ball shaped knob just to the left of the FD control switch.

I love the simplicity of the '66. I have a '70 and it is still pretty simple, but not as simple and nice as yours!
