[69GMCor70Chevy]

Normally I get all I need by using the search function. But I have 3 questions that I need answered.

First Pic: On the Passenger side of 350 between the Rams Horn and the Donut there is a spacer of some sort that has what looks like a choke coil. I just wanted to know what that was and if I can just take it out as it is loose right now.

Second Pic: My truck is a 69 but the Cab is off of a 70. What is this hole I am pointing to beside the steering colum for?

Third Pic: I have seen a few discussions that referenced the Steering Colum shift Indicator. Saying this I am still not clear on what, if anything, the wire attached to it is for.

The knowledge on this board is huge and I ask these questions realizing it may seem as simple as can be for some as to the answers of these questions but I can assure you that to me they are not...
