That hole is for a poly only cover. Ahhh I always wondered what that abnormality was all about. Curious, will a poly cover fit the LA live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

FWIW I have sold a few of these and the buyers seemed to be willing to pay a little more having finally found one... I got $35.00 a piece out of two of them in the past... ...FAFO...

I was specifically looking at these at the Mopar Nats this year. Prices were ridiculous. I saw a cover that looked like it had sat in salt water for years. They were asking $50.

The poly has an extra bolt in it that does not exist in any the the 273-318-340 blocks.
