Dunno the answer; yours is a '74, right? Do you have a copy of the '85 
Illustrated Parts Manual with a black cover? On pg 37, it shows four different 
heater/AC boxes '71 to '85 but none seem to have 4 hose connections. Perhaps 
yours was a prototype of some sort, or it was intended for a 
right-hand-drive car. The early pushbuttons used a fresh air vent system with two defroster 
hoses and two what appear to be swivelling vents right on the box. The 
mid-to-late '74s had a fresh air system that was completely different, not 
feeding the big metal box directly but having a flex hose behind the glove box 
feeding a small attached 'valve' on the lower rt side. That box had two hoses 
on the left side but only one plus the fresh air valve on the right.   Take 
a photo some time. Cheers- J Deryke
