[T3] Engine cover

[JGGullion@aol.com]

I have a 69 Fastback with a 1776 cc------I replaced the engine cover today 
because it had a huge hole in the center with a plastic box of some sort 
mounted over the hole.  I replaced the engine cover with a stock 
one---without the hole.......  Do I need to keep the cover with the huge hole 
cut in it?????  What is the hole for---right in the center---maybe for a carb 
or something????  Not sure.........

One of my friends came over and said that the cover may have been customized 
to allow for better engine cooling but I am having doubts about that because 
the hole was covered with a plastic box which was mounted to the 
top--------would not allow it to get more air......

Anyways---I just wanted to hear what everything thinks about what purpose it 
would serve to have a hole in the engine lid..........

Greg.
