I was loading the car up to move and I noticed something on the very bottom of the dash that I have no clue what it is. It is a 71 barracuda. It has a part number on it of 269 95527. It is the triangular black piece that is bolted on with one bolt and can turn 360 degrees. Does anyone know what it

one too many digits for a Mopar part number, should be 7

I m using an apple product and I don’t know how to post a pic vs the link thing. I’ll have to fix it later tomorrow when I get back on the PC. It does have 8 numbers though. I’ll erase links at this time.

Thats a footwell vent, opening it allows more air around the legs/feet.

Is it supposed to be connected to something, like a cable, on the other side of bottom dash, or where the raised piece of plastic is? shruggy Right now it is just a piece of plastic that will spin in a circle, around the screw. Are there any other pics of this thing connected to something? It is an A/C car.

The left side of this tube goes to a vent next to the heater controls.
The right side connects to another piece of duct that transitions it to the heater box on the passenger side.

Both parts are pictured in this link

No: just meant to be rotated by hand.

When you manually spin it, you will see holes in the AC duct, these let air into to foot well area.
That "part" is just a cover for those holes

Ok, so if I understand you guys correctly, spinning the outside plastic piece opens a duct door on the inside, allowing the air to flow. That makes sense now.

I will have to look closer to see if it covers any holes. The car is enroute to GA finally. Supposed to arrive next week sometime.. woohoo

The outside plastic piece IS the door. There is nothing else on the inside. There's one for the passenger side on this piece as well.

That is the heater/AC duct.

That's true, but look on the right-hand side of it and you can see the little spinnable door. It would be easier to see if the pic was of the end of it instead of the front. up
