My '74 2.0 L is missing a piece of engine tin that had been removed when the car had A/C. Pic shows what's missing. You are looking at the far forward passenger side of the engine compartment. That rectangular bracket is what the A/C compressor used to sit on. Engine tin confuses me, so I am not sure if a whole section is missing or something was cut. Anyone have a spare piece for sale that could correct this cavity? Temporarily, I have been using a faux piece that I fashioned but I'd like to get this back to normal. Thanks, Ansbacher.
Man I'm going thru this right now too. Actually you'll be needing 2 pieces of tin:
1) the long section [only] under/in-front of the fan housing (any year will work)
2) the main top section [spark plugs mount thru it] (you'll need 2.0L specifically)
Keep an eye out, some have the 2.0L tins.. I have a forum member sending me the universal long section in front of the fan for the cost of shipping (what a great forum!)..and I had a local practically give me the top/side (spark plug/wing) section
FROM A 1.7/1.8 engine. The tin from the 1.7/1.8 contain an overlay section at the upper corner - and this is what was cut off of our 2.0L tins for AC. I've pryed/popped spot welds and removed that section, hammered/dolly it straight - and will be grafting it onto my original 2.0L wing tin (plug weld or pop rivets). That's just an option if you can't find 2.0L top/wing tin. Good luck.
