The passenger side dash plate supposed to have 2 vent aren't they? My 79 Cobra is a factory A/C car and only has a total of 3 vents. 2 vents on the bezel on the drivers side on each side of the guages, but on the passenger side it in missing the inside (left) vent. Can anyone help?

I thought it was 2 vents for Non A/C and 4 vents for A/C?

I could be wrong but i have only seen either 2 vents or 4 vents. I don't remember seeing 3 vents.

If the Cobra has factory AC it has four vents. Two on Driver and two on passenger.

Where it gets fun is the passenger bezel - all engine turned as well as the driver bezel.

If the car is a Turbo 4 and AC it will have two vents and Turbo charged logo.

Non-AC one vent and Turbo Charged logo

V8 Cobra with air is Two Vents no Turbo Charged bezel

V8 Cobra with non air one vent and no Turbo Charged Bezel like below

What "some people" think is that you can just use a turbo car's bezel and just removel the turbocharged logo however there are holes!

Bottom line. Driver side "two" different. Engine turned ac or non ac. Passenger "four" different bezels.

Can you check the Bucktag and Door Tag? I wonder if someone prior to you changed the bezels? Weird.

The Body/Buck Tag and VC Label ("door sticker") are posted here:

It was ordered with AC from the "factory".
