A cool breeze inside

I have an air leak coming from the left END of the dash. I can feel it by hand going down the road by moving my hand up and down the outside end of the dash. Where might I start looking to find where it might be coming from. It's forward of the door so I know it's not that.

the vent might not be sealing properly

Hi Wildcard,
floyd67 probably nailed it, but just in case that is not it. In the picture below, if the black rubber plug in the upper left corner is missing it would cause a big air leak.

I think you can reach up behind the dash and feel for this plug with your fingers, instead of removing the gauge cluster. I'm just trying to get all the mileage out of these pictures as I can.

Looks like a flux capacitor to me

You might want to check and see if the rubber grommet that the speedometer cable goes through into the cab from the engine compartment is slid up the cable and in place in the firewall....... If Not, COLD AIR at an unbelievable rate comes in!!!

its not a flux capsitor either. a flux capsitor has a lighted y glass tube in a plastic covered assembly box. they first came out in 1985.
