<VV> Box in air intake

[J R Read_HML]

If you have that box on a 66, it was a "left over" 65 part at the factory. 
My understanding is that the original intent was to have a fresh air mixer 
there and there would have been 4 levers on the dash.  The 4th one to 
control that inlet.  They changed their mind on it and just put a cap over 
the intended inlet.

Later, JR
