1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
Cold morning but turned out to be a nice day. The main thing holding us up is the heater box. Bob (Glenray) has the heater core and should turn it around in a few days. We rebuilt what we could and are ready to just slap it in and bolt it together. Remember this is a 1973 AC system in the '72.
We ripped it apart a while ago to get the heater core out. Today we hooked up the pressure washer and simple green/orange paint stripper'ed it to clean it up and scrapped off the old dried out foam seals. We then bead blasted the doors and painted them up so they won't rust again. The condenser had no signs of leaking so we flushed it out with SPI 700 wax and grease remover (water based and dried without a film), bead blasted and painted it with Seymours stainless steel.
Now the fun part. Detroit Muscle Technologies kit is all you need.....
Slip the condenser in to the housing and line up the foam seal you just installed.
Install the blower resistor (after bead blasting and cleaning). Also I put some dum-dum (3M strip caulk) in the bottom channel. The DMT kit did not mention it but this one had it from the factory.
The condenser is held in with 2 screws and the channel in the bottom.
