Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
John, the Model number is #506101. also known as the GEN II with DEFROST kit. it blows heat out of an actuated door out of the bottom and or thru two round ports that you connect the tubing/ducting hose up to your existing defrost vents on top of the dash. as far as the controls go, I left the original control unit/knobs attached to the dash face so it holds the original look. the controls that came with the kit were mounted under the bottom of the dash for easy reach but are not noticeable unless you're looking down or are physically sitting in the car. wiring was a breeze as was the plumbing.
Since I smoothed out the firewall and ditched the original heater box, it made it fairly easy to mount the heater in the middle above the trans. hump. I mounted mine just off to the passenger side because I HATE hot feet when driving and my wife is ALWAYS complaining of being cold. Problem solved. The water lines were NOT run thru the inner fender as I once planned, instead I just an the lower than the original position. It doesn't matter where you run them as long as you have room to rout the hoses so they won't get in the way of anything. I can't take a picture of the hose location as i'm not with the car for a couple weeks but I do have some old pictures of the heater unit and controls I hope it helps. By the way, this is the same unit that has been used in ALL of my brother's builds as well as numerous others that we had our hands in working on.
