I'm thinking about mounting my fuel pump on the firewall since my stock pump failed and one of the bolts holding it in place rusted away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . So I pulled out the seats and backpad to find a good place to drill a hole for the pump bracket mounting bolts and noticed that there are two small holes already in the firewall and the surrounding sound-deadening material. They don't seem to go through to the other side but are clearly there for a reason. Any idea what they are for? The car is a 74.

IIRC there are 4 phillips head screws near the bottom of the back pad (2 behind each seat). Could those be the holes for the screws?

No these holes are different from the four backpad screws. It makes sense that they would be for screws that hold up the sound deadener though. Maybe I should add some?
