Inde,
If you have a C3, then I'm pretty sure that one fuse block is pretty much the same as another. I'm no expert here, but they all appear to have the same number of recesses and cars that have extra power accessories will have more fuses fitted. It's not uncommon to find a lowly spec'd car to have several empty spaces in the fusebox.

Regards from Down Under

This is for 1972 coupe, with an automatic and air conditioning, I was told there is a difference in the fuse blocks when replacing it on a 72.

i converted a 73 wiring harness to use on a 72. other than the changes i made to operate the wiper door, most of the wiring is the same. there are several and different connectors (such as brake light) and extra connections in the terminal end for polution, etc. but if i remember correctly, all the major wiring at the fuse block is the same.

I believe that 68-72 use the same block.
