1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
Let's start out by apologizing. I have no idea what happened to the camera but a lot of the photos I took were not on the SD card.....
I installed NOS bushing and rubber standoffs on the wiper motor. Had photos there too that are gone. The rubber standoffs are a BEAR to get on but they will go with some effort.
To start with the blower motor wires where rock hard so I cut them off at the internal windings a and soldered on new wire with heat shrink tubing... I have no idea what happened to the photos of me doing that... here is where they start. Front cover on with brushes back in along with the rotor....
I cut the end off that grounds to the wiper motor and put a new GM style Packard connector on the green wire. It will plug right into the harness...
The grommet was crumbling. I used a single grommet from the HF kit and I will use Plasti-dip over that once the wires are set in their final place.
Now I moved to the heater box. Put the rear grommet washers on then install the motor and there are top grommet washers before the nuts go on..
Put the squirrel cage on and bolt it in.
Now the scary part. The '72 does not have the inner bracket to hold the AC box so the dash stud was not in the Duster. I got a wet sheet and layed it in over the box and to keep sparks from flying behind the box into the insulation... Nerve-wracking to say the least....
But we made it (again more photos missing...) nice and sturdy..
Now that was in place real R134 o-rings and oil and the AC lines are coming together.
