The Ford Barn

Pulled the 239 Y Block and I'm starting to prep for the 302/AOD install and I need some help with a couple of parts(?). First the nut and stud on the upper fire wall below the windshield. It was covered with a glob of what appeared to be strip caulking. Before I crawl under the dash to investigate I thought someone would know what it is/does? Second question, there is what appears to be some type of rubber mount under the radiator but the radiator doesn't rest on it as far as I can tell. Things are much different in this project than the flathead in my '39 p/u so any help is much appreciated. I did look at my chassis manual but came up empty.

It's been a long time since I built our '54 Ranch Wagon but as I recall it's a support rod for the clutch/brake assembly.

The 2nd piece is a worn out radiator support pad.HRP

Thanks HRP. I posted on the Flathead section of the Barn due to a brain fart. I'll go ahead and post on the later section as well.
