Fuse box placement 1974 Duster with A/C
« on: June 28, 2008, 11:32:10 AM »

Hey guys, I know some of you have worked on and built a 74 Duster with A/C.  The one I am working on had wire harness out.
In replacing it, I see no mounting place for the fues box.
I sure would appreciate a pic or something like that showing where that box goes.  I would really like to finish up this car, and that
is a BIG hold up.
Thank

Dave, thanks a TON, but you would think you would see a screw hole or something, but I do not.
I know I need glasses, but darn I did not think I was that blind.
I will take another look.
Once I get a few things like that figured out, I am going to sell this HEMI 4 speed race car, Cheap.
Thanks again

The fuseblock is hinged on a couple of curved tabs that are part of the lower dash frame.  Fuseblock swings up and into a horizontal position where a winged stud screws into a bracket to hold the fuseblock in place.  Could it be that someone cut these various brackets out of the car previously??

I found it, after spending 2 1/2 hours in a junk yard looking at cars like this, I found it. The fuse box in the A/C car does not bolt in, it
fits on a piece of metal that is part of the panel where the inst. cluster goes.
Such a simple thing, yet it kept eluding me, now I am good to go.
