Confus'en, eh! age will do dat to you Mark. The factory radiator is in it's normal position, the condenser is in the front of the rad, and the puller is on the engine side of the rad, pulling the air through the condenser, and then the rad itself. This setup has proven in the past to be the...

Paul, My impression is that at 3,000 $ cnd, you are right in the ballpark. Once the system and ad-ons are purchased, and the additional charges that we are so fond of, such as brokerage fee's, trsp, handling, taxes, and what ever else they can think of, is tallied up, you will have spent...

Paul, To ad to the excellent response of my Carlisle sidekick, here are a few more thoughts on your questions. 1 Micro switches: I have not been obliged to, since everyone I ever installed are still functioning, but I would think that you can certainly purchase some that are of a better...

Mark, Most of the setups I have done, ultimately all needed additional electric fans, especially if you intend to have the AC running at low engine speed, or in slow traffic. The issue is not should I install one, but where to install it. Some suppliers will sell you a fan that is designed...

As Mark says, " taint no fuss, nor any tit for tat," it's called exchanging ideas. In regards to the heater control mods, I have done both, and although it looks intimidating, it's a rather easy fix, and once completed, nothing is noticeable, nor obtrusive. For Thorin, I have noticed that...

Bob, Once you get AC in your the car, there is no way in héll you will cruise around with your windows down on a hot , :mad stickey day, any more then you would with your SUV. As for the efficiency of most units, I have not as yet been able ( except once ) to keep the fan and temp on maximum...

Mark, You are correct as far as the under dash heater hose connections go, since I am not impressed either. However in their defense ( the connections ) experience has shown me that in the past, there there has been more problems with the leaking of the brass heater core itself, then a...

Mark, I don't want to rain on your parade, since you seem convinced that the kit you bought is the ultimate C2 AC system, but I have a slightly different outlook on the subject of air conditioning conversions. I have had the pleasure ( yeah, tell me about it ) of installing more then a dozen...

:duh

Bob, can you leave the pics for a day or two. A friend of mine was interested, and at the time I had to recommend that he pass on the purchase. I have just linked him to this thread, and I would like to give him some time to read the thread. Stepinwolf

I have just placed a for sale ad for an intake manifold in the General " For Sale " section. Check it out Stepinwolf

Larry, you should not be making any apologies for home built Corvettes, since any Corvette that is home " built, is better then bought " :beer Kind'a reminds me of a song Ole blue eyes use to sing called " I did it my way " :bang Stepinwolf

Rainer, Most professional paint suppliers, can a computer "color-match " to within 95% of the original color. There is also a program supplied from PPG that can convert color codes from the sixties. I have a very old copy of the " NCRS Restorer " that shows all the mid-year color codes...

Welcome to the CAC Rainer Regardless of what products your painter wants to use, go for it. That way if the shÎt ever hits the fan, he won't have any excuses as to your choice of paint. Good luck Stepinwolf

Quick responce Jeff, The next time you call, leave a short, personal message for " Jessica " implying that you have spoken in the past, and you will get an immediate responce . ;) Stepinwolf

Rich, I will not go the same route as the above respondents in complimenting your build, but will be content in saying to you, that I am not surprised in the least, in seeing this high quality build of yours. Looks to me like we will have to chalk up one more for the Super Chevy " Gold Class...

About ten years ago I was driving a 65 small block, and had access to quite an assortment of rear ends. Over a two year period I actually swapped out every ratio from 3:08, to 4:11, and the very best performance, vis a vie all around driving, was with a 3:55 ratio. Excellent acceleration, and...

My 10 cent's worth Stan, I can't comment on the C1 front clips since I have yet to install any, but I have had the occasion to replace at least a dozen front clips for the C2's. I don't think I would be wrong in assuming that the do's and don'ts would most likely be the same, along with the...

Harland, I opted for a smaller diameter wheel, along with a tilt column from " Flaming River " and will never go back to a full size steering wheel in any of my rides. Entrée and exit have now become a pleasure, and you know longer have to use the steering wheel as a hand hold when you try and...
