Was going through all of vintage air boxes in the garage to make certain I didn't miss anything and got a panic attack when I came across a refrigerant line in the bottom of the evaporator packing material.
Looks like someone with a Tri 5 Chevy maybe missing a refrigerant line.
I recommend taking your AM radio and having it converted to a modern AM FM Bluetooth device.
You can run a remote rear speaker with a fader potentiometer, but you cannot run three speakers.
I really don't want to jinx myself, but I'm so close to being done I want to declare victory.
Vintage Air wise the installation is 90% complete. I need to dress some wiring and install the dash ducts.
I did start the car and let it idle until the thermostat opened. Heater blows hot and the...
Well I'm about 90% satisfied with the wiring. At the "binary switch" I had few choices to make connections and decided just take a direct route and try not to be elegant. I used tubing to pass wires through existing openings and soldered and heat shrink connections. Putting that one screw in for...
You can take the belt off or loosen, put a mitivac on each line, and suction out the fluid while slowly rotating the pulley.
I don't remember the reason, but Ehrenberg has said a few times that modern power steering fluid is recommended rather than ATF. Maybe it was foaming?
I use O'Reilly's...
Putting together a wiring strategy. Need to buy more spade lug connectors and heat shrink tomorrow.
Question for @Kern Dog ; did you run both white wires from the ECU Gen IV to the (-) battery post as vintage air instructions?
(Hope you had a great time at spring fling and made it home safe...
So my retired mechanic friend who has installed three of these systems showed up at precisely 8am this morning. He stared at the configuration for several minutes without saying a word and then declared "you need to start over".
After I came to and got up off the floor.......we discussed the...
Thanks Kern. Since you are at one of the largest collection of Mopars that gather it would be nice for a few photos if you come across my configuration. Please post here in the thread.
I browsed last night lots of 1967 B Body vintage air pictures. I noticed every single one that used the...
Well, I have tried every combination of spacers and shims and this is the best configuration. I decided to get the heater hoses connected so I can fill the system with plain water and pressure test it overnight. If no leaks I can at least start the car and see how bad the belts behave.
Power...
I believe the power steering pump can be aligned with some combinations of shims and spacers and washers.
What has me stumped is the alternator. This alternator mounts differently on the 1967 vs 1968 and newer. I've also got a separate belt and pulley just for the fan that is part of the...
Unfortunately I think you are correct, and no help is available. My retired mechanic friend who has installed three of these systems (two Chevelle and one Charger) is coming over to discuss.
If you've followed me over the years on FBBO you know my skills are limited to turning a wrench. I...
So here is an example image. The two bolts that hold the alternator bracket are the same for the mount for the fan drive pulley. Not sure how this would work.
