I’ve been scratching my head for a couple weeks now on this problem I’ve been having. I bought this car off of a guy as a roller, supposed to be a 73 duster. I have done quite a bit of work on it and I’m stuck on getting the heater box in it. I bought a nice used heater box and tried to install it and I never could get it to fit properly. So I got on the internet and started looking at duster firewalls and the hole where the heater motor comes out, none of the firewalls I have seen look like mine and I can’t get this heater box and motor to match up to the holes. I have included a picture of the firewall in my duster and the hole where the blower motor is supposed to come out. Anyone seen this or know what’s going on?

Looks like you scored !

Now you need an AC box!
 
Okay I see it now. Great! Now I have to find a heater box with ac. Thanks for the info.
 
Either that or if you don't need much for heat, buy an aftermarket AC/ heater and stick it all under the dash, blank off the holes

1967 to 1972 share an a/c or non a/c footprint.

In 1973 they completely redesigned the footprint for either A/c or non A/c setups

Almost nothing interchanges from 72 and older cars with 73 and newer cars. The controls are completely different and even how they mount is different.

You want parts from a 73 and newer car if you want to bolt it in.
