This car is a mish-mash. The dash has the hole you mention next to where the OD switch would go. However, this car came with a couple of different dash's (the one I put in had the OD switch hole...welded shut) and several instrument panels. The one I refinished seems like it would be for the rheostat switch. The heater does have a fan but I'm not sure I have the right one and I don't have a knob for it.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Ugh!

have one, but I also have a on-off switch with "Panel" on its knob.....assume
that is for the instrument panel lights?</div>
