OK...
1970 Plymouth B Body with factory AIR GRABBER...
Is this the correct dash location?

Is the metal frame different, because there is not much room behind this switch hole location.

Backside...

This is all that I have for the switch...
What else am I missing?

PG Classics lists a "air grabber solenoid" in their catalog...Do I need that as well? Where does it mount?

Looks about right. I haven't been behind my dash for 25 years though & have never touched the switch so not certain on the dash metal. Seems like there was a hole, though.

OK, so my location looks right...I wonder if that "white block" of the switch screws directly to the metal frame?

Also (unrelated) If you don't want a map light, located just to the right of the heater controls, is there some sort of "block off plate" or something? Where could I get one of those?

Is your glove box blue inside or black? I'm referring to the backside of the actual door?

John, thanks for that "want ad" tip

I don't have a picture but, it's black. Not sure if it's paint or just unfinished plastic.

Also, the 'box' on top of my glovebox might have been part of the 8T player, now that I think back. I pulled radio out to replace belt, many years back.

The solenoid is keyed so when you shut the car off, it immediately starts the closing process, makes a hissing noise from bleed off when ag switch is in on position & car shut off.

Alan,

Backside of the door should be black. I have a spare maplight if you want it, but I used my only blank off plate....sorry.

Cheers,
Dave

Alan,

I may be mistaken but I thought the oval hole was for the reverse and air grabber switches? If this dash panel came out of a non grabber car they may have drilled the reverse hole offset.
Also, I believe the white block with the nipples is attached to the panel with the bezel screws.In other words, the plastic panel is sandwiched between the bezel and white block.
The solenoid was used to dump the air from the actuator when the car was shut off and the spring from the actuator bracket to the flap linkage would pull the door closed.
If you leave the solenoid out and leave the spring off the door will stay open when the car is shut off.

I was told that the plastic bezel was an original, but I guess it's possible the steel frame has been changed
It would seem to me that the switch should be anchored to the steel frame for strength ?

I'm pretty sure the switch is attached to the metal, actually kind of under the dash plastic. I'll be driving the 6bbl car to the airport tomorrow. I can crawl under there & take a look & let you know what I find when I get back tomorrow night.

I have the dash out of my 70 RR airgrabber car now. took a photo. Does it help?

The lamp blockoff plate is common to 1968-70 B-body, At least I think it is. ( maybe even 66-67 to )

I'm no help on the switch part though

the plot thickens....I don't believe I have that round hole next to the large oval

But I still don't quite understand how it all mounts together. It appears as if you don't have any additional screw holes

there are some there.. bad photo. Wil take a couple more

How is this I removed the airgrabber switch you have in our photo when I started striping it down. I tink I have photos of that as well.
