Tried searching but couldn't find a definitive answer:
The original rubber insulation on the engine side of the firewall... is that just soundproofing? Or does it serve as a fire barrier as well, as you find lining the hood of many modern cars? On my '74, it's torn and falling off. I'm going to tear it out but just curious whether I should think of it as a piece of safety equipment, or just something to make my wife complain less about the noise... the glorious noise. |
