Putting up an order list together and I can't figure out the name of a few parts.  Would appreciate your help identifying what I'm missing.

74, auto, power, big block, a/c

In picture 1,
1) what is suppose to go there?  And what is the bracket holding it?
2) This is the AC/power window relay I think.  What kind of screws do I need?
3) what is the name of this goowie stuff surrounding the pipes going into the heater box?  If I replace the heater core and cleanup the whole thing; what am I suppose to replace/seal this with?
4) Same question here, but different goowie stuff sealing the heater box to the firewall.

In picture 2,
1) what is the bracket I should hook this 30a fuse too?  And what do I replace the 2 little platic liners of the 2 wholes with?
2) instead of "original" firewall grommet; I've put some universal ones.  Can I just seal it from the engine side with a high temp silicone so I can easily remove it if needed be?  Or the only way to really seal it is to buy the correct firewall grommet?

Thanks in advance!





Steph.

1 = Bracket for the ignition interlock over-ride relay....obviously your car has had that system removed.

2 = A/C High Speed Blower Relay

3 = Gooey  Stuff..not sure what they call it(Dum-Dum?), but you can get it at parts houses here, I think. I know it is asphalt based, or at least it was originally.

4 = Actually the same stuff

Pic 2
1 = That's the Power Window Circuit Breaker..it bolts/screws directly to the firewall there. Apparently yours has had the screw holes stripped out, and some insert(s) installed. I'd say you could prolly get away with using some drywall inserts for that.

2 = Yeah...sillycone will be fine.

Steph, take a look at these pics on my photobucket site...there are several pics of that same area of my car there. It should have everything you need to visualize what you need, or are missing.

Thanks!

No wonder I couldn't find it anywhere; it's hardly for sale.

On ebay, I found a connector for 60$ and the relay for 300$.  I think I'll just cleanup that area and call it a day without putting one back.

I just looked at a few and your pictures will help me a lot.  I'm in the process of "sorting things out" right now.  There's about a dozen things that don't look right from the PO and I made it my duty to either fix it and/or at least understand it.
