The CAA instructions from my kit were adamant that the system is to take only 1.8 lbs of refrigerant and that adding more will not make the air blow any colder. I don't know enough about these systems to dispute them. I told the shop that charged Dwayne's car what the capacity was for his, I...

This is the chart that Randy posted in my own thread:

Randy had to come to my rescue when I got in a spot. He owns the green challenger next to my Charger... My own system felt fine in cool weather but the real test was how cold the A/C was blowing when the ambient air got hot. On the way south from Sacramento to Modesto last Thursday, my A/C...

I'd love to give you sound advice but I am FAR from an expert. I've installed ONE Vintage Air system and ONE Classic Auto Air setup.

That reminds me of the time I was helping a guy do an engine swap way back in the 90s. As we set the engine in and was ready to bolt up the transmission, I said to the guy….They forgot to put a crankshaft in the engine ! The guy didn’t know much about cars… Is that important?? I got a good...

I just got home from the show and had a great time. Regarding the wiring, I don't remember off the top of my head. I'll be out back in the shop tomorrow to tinker around so I'll take a look and report back.

It looks like your pulleys are sorted out. The alternator/A/C compressor belts look like they could be a little tighter but it looks to me Like you have the pulleys figured out. I looked for cars at the show today but what arrangements I found wasn’t like the car in the video link you posted. I...

I’m looking at these in my tiny phone screen but they seem right to me. If you’re okay with waiting a couple of days, I can try to snap better pictures of my car and a few others. I’m at a Mopar show in southern CA and expect to see plenty of BB V8s with A/C. There may be some with your power...

The Charger and Satellite did get a factory based setup but also used the Saginaw steering pump. I used a Saginaw because it is what I put in the car back in 2001 when I converted to a 440. Back then I used whatever parts I could find, not what was correct for the year. In truth, the Saginaw is...

Take a look. The triangle bracket for the alternator attaches to a different point on the water pump housing. The alternator pulley lines up with the water pump pulley. Now look at the A/C placement of the alternator bracket. The green arrow shows the NON A/C mounting boss further away from...

The alternator moves back toward the head by about an inch.

Here are some mock up pictures. It is without the P/S pump but directly matches the Charger. I just remembered that the Satellite alternator was mounted in the same relative spot but used brackets from Bouchillon.

The 68 Satellite and my 70 Charger had similar arrangements for the pulleys and brackets. They were not correct for the 1969 and older models.

That absolutely looks like an A/C compressor. THANK YOU for recording the video in Landscape format. So many people are idiots and record video vertically.

I thought their suggestion was bullshit. I didn’t cut or modify the harness to abide by that suggestion. The circuit breaker is inside on the Plymouth I did. It is within reach on the firewall above the left corner of the evaporator. My Classic Auto Air system installation in my Charger has...

The concern I had with the wheelwell route of the lines was tire clearance. Personally, I love a wide wheel and tire because I'm into cornering and braking rather than drag racing or casual cruising. The lines in the wheelwell would be fine with stock width tires and wheels and a little larger...

I’m glad to help. As always, you have to sift through some off topic content to get to the meat of the matter. My threads deviate from the line sometimes!

It is 5/8” heater hose, both nipples. I had a large roll of hose so I just cut mine to fit. I ran the hoses from the evaporator and heater core, through the firewall and then to the fender apron. Maybe 24” each? Not sure. The engine side hoses were just cut back on Dwayne’s car to fit the...

I found that with the brackets on the evaporator, there was at least a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" space between the evaporator and firewall. I mounted Dwayne's ECM, Ballast Resistor and Voltage regulator with no risk of touching the evaporator when I drilled for the mounting screws. If you gave the...

You can get a Saginaw pump at a NAPA store or any other auto parts store for around $60-70. The 440 source would probably not have a core charge though. I have something like 10-15 Saginaw pumps here from various cars and trucks I've parted out. I have a 440 on my 75 Power Wagon, a 440/495 in...
