    good place to get a heater core for an a/c car?

    1967 coronet auto 383 with A/C so far I have only found the correct one on 2 sites and both are asking in the 230 range. One was classic auto air. does anyone here know of other places to get a core for this style? Would it be reasonable to see if it can be repaired? I don't have it out of...

    are there any benefits to running a hotter thermostat?

    After driving close to 100 miles this weekend, it does feel to run better but does ping a bit under heavy load as in up a big hill at freeway speeds. Gas mileage seems a bit better too.

    are there any benefits to running a hotter thermostat?

    I picked up a new 180* stat from the part slingers earlier this week because they had told me that the oem spec was 195 and I wanted cooler than that, an195 just seemed really high for an older car. Turns out it had a 160 in there to begin with and now the gage shows right in middle of the long...

    I have a feeling my heater system isn't exactly stock

    no actually. That is something I always keep an eye on as well.. Its usual range is at the first bar and a little above that and you can tell when the thermostat kicks open too.

    I have a feeling my heater system isn't exactly stock

    So today started off pretty crummy. Car doesnt start, hook up to the charger and find out battery has a failed cell so I ride the GS650 to work and spit out $80 for a new battery. Get home and put it in and head out to target. Halfway there the temp gauge starts rising so I turn up the heater...

    Classic auto air

    Well what would you want to get rid of them for? I have a brand new clutch that should make up for that fuse problem and my current compressor has a nice busted piston keeping it from working.

    50 year old plastic parts suck: selector switch question inside..

    Here is a little of what I am dealing with right now. I have tried searching the part number[2587564] and found that it replaces an older design, but it is not the most recent update, however I cannot seem to find what is.

    50 year old plastic parts suck: selector switch question inside..

    This weekend while I was trying to figure out the problem with my radio(I curse the monkey that did the wiring 'fixes' back there) the little white box that holds all the a/c and heater control goodies broke apart. I was looking through the web for the replacement and I see a lot on ebay and...

    fried compressor, want advise.

    Ok Thanks guys! The picture and description on most websites arent very descriptive and are just a stock picture. I will put in my order as soon as possible, probably after tomorrow when my check clears for work.

    fried compressor, want advise.

    ok, before I just jump into it, is the clutch just the pulley, or is there more to it that I have not seen yet? not that it would make much difference after I have the parts I would figure out how to replace it anyway, I just would like to have a little insight as to what I am getting into...

    fried compressor, want advise.

    also side note: may help a little. I checked if there was any refrigerant in the system using the 'screwdriver test' and had a nice little spray out of the valve. Depending on the outcome of the insurance claim I may order a clutch assy. from o'riellys

    fried compressor, want advise.

    Sorry it took so long to reply, I have been recovering from a motorcycle accident and havent been able to get on the laptop much. Clutch is bad without a doubt, the bearing inside the pulley is destroyed. unless the clutch is a bigger piece than what I am understanding (the pulley+ an...

    fried compressor, want advise.

    ok, and do they carry all the flushes too? also are you saying I will need to replace the evaporator and condensor too? I aready had plans to do the compressor, drier, and expansion valve and a system flush which I had added up to about $300 or so. Thank you for the replies, I would hate to...

    fried compressor, want advise.

    I bought my '67 in..... February I think, and it cost me a total of $1,700. It has factory ac in it, but a combination of factors led together for a grenaded compressor. Driving home one day the clutch bearing froze up( heck, it could have been frozen before and this was the trip that killed the...
