Putting a classic air heat/air unit in my 68 road runner. Been looking at the dash, thinking it would be “cool” to put the a/c vents in the factory air locations. Would take a steady hand with the cut off wheel and die grinder for the outboard locations, but the real challenge is putting it...
Your under dash unit has heat, too ? Does it have any defrost outlets ? I like the idea of yours, but humidity here in the spring and fall need a defrost occasionally. Nice car and nice work, too !
Ive heard the knee knockers cool great. I can swing the behind the dash complete unit, ($)… just seemed more work, but likely better in the long run. Thanks for answering !
Thanks for answering. After more measuring, the under dash unit will extend into the passenger leg room quite a bit. It has to be to the right far enough to clear my shifter, and that puts it mostly into the passenger leg area. . One reason I considered the under dash was it’s so “ Analog”. A...
I would appreciate some input before I pull the trigger on A/C for my 68 roadrunner. 95+ % the driving is above 50*. i rebuilt the heater box completely, blasted the metal, new paint, foam, motor, core, etc. it works great. Maybe turned it on low once for some wife’s morning chill in late...
Thanks for the picture. I have also been thinking of rewiring the car. Looks like the American auto wire still uses the OE bulkhead connection ? Do you have to install all the spade connectors in the bulkhead with new wires or are they already attached ?
Being cool 9 months out of the year is more important to me than warm in the winter, since it is rare that the car leaves the garage December-February.
Well, thanks to all that have responded and all the pics and links about adding a/c. I built a cardboard mock up box to see if an under dash unit would fit in my 68. It’s a no go, the tremec 5 speed shifter sits too close to the dash, the unit has no clearance. So more google searching. I...
Wow ! That’s a lot going on above the tire . you’ve done a great job with those. But that’s just not what I want for my car. I like to drive it “3 seasons” here, and it’s been in the rain and down some sketchy roads in all the years I’ve had it. I considered using Vintage and making some...
Well after going to my buddy’s garage yesterday and seeing him putting a complete vintage air kit in his VERY nice firebird, I am much closer to ordering some kind/brand of a/c for my 68 roadrunner. I have looked on vintage air and classic air web sites, not sure I like the hose routing that...
Thinking I should consider air in my 68 road runner. Does the classic unit cool your car ok ? I’m sorry I didn’t notice where you live before I started this. I’m in southern Missouri, it was 90 plus and humid here today. Thanks. Oops...now I see you’re in Florida! If it cools you there, I’m...
