Good catch if it is indeed an under tank cutoff. I can't tell if it is or isn't...:p

The gas tank for an indented firewall does not have a gas line that runs through the passenger compartment to the firewall. The indented firewall gas tank outlet matches the hole on the firewall and the gas shut off valve screws into the gas tank on the engine side of the firewall.

I looked at the detail photos and noticed that the interior photo shows a gas shutoff valve under the tank and the engine compartment photo shows a indented firewall with a gas shut off valve. I have never heard or seen this combination. Looks like during a restoration some one assembled with the wrong gas tank or firewall.

Any comments from the experts??

see the attached photos

Maybe they didn’t want to exit the vehicle and raise the hood to shut off the gas but wanted the engine compartment original looking.
