Beach advice

Beginner here and I'm staying in Surf City, NC this week. I've been out for a few hours each morning on the beach and mostly have found trash (to be expected)

My question is I don't get very many hits in the compacted sand and the soft sand is mostly trash.

When you all hunt on a beach where do you typically look or what kind of areas are you searching? Close to the water? Or near public access areas, etc?

Help fixing dents

Got some dents on the front passenger panel. I've tried pulling the light and putting pressure against the dent but it only affects small parts of the dent. I'm not worried about the paint as I have 1. Already messed it up as seen 2. Plan on getting the truck repainted.

Any suggestions on how to pop this dent out, I would appreciate

EGR adapter?

So the previous owner did the feedback carb delete. I still have the EGR adapter and think I would like to put it back on as it might seat better than the current random plate I have under the carb.

I know they make a cover for the front of it, but what about plugs for the hoses and additionally, what vacuum hose connects to the EGR vacuum port?

I'm doing a dash cover and there are holes in the dash cover and a big hole where it goes over, but my dash doesn't have any hole in it. What went in this spot? 86 300 inline

Interior trim paint?

So I got a bug up my ass and decided to work on my 86 and make it look respectable. The previous owner rattle canned the exterior and interior. I had the exterior repainted years back at a pay and spray and it looks all worth the $500 I paid so I'll get that handled but the interior is fading and scratched.

Suggestions on interior paint for the trim? I'll just keep it black to make it easier.

Help identifying a part

Could someone please tell me what the part/bracket between the carb and the manifold is called on a 300 inline?

The previous owner on mine added a nonfeedback carb so this part isn't on my truck but I do have the part.

I met up with another bullnose owner to purchase some stuff and he had a similar setup but still had this part attached with a bracket screwed on to the end.

Anyone know where I could find the metal insert for the light switch knob and wiper knob?
