Category: Heating / Cooling / AC

Hey guys it’s been a long time but my once hobby car now looks like it might be my transportation to work. So with that said it’s time to get the AC going on my 74 Dodge Dart. Everything is in one piece except the new heater core which needs to be installed. How difficult will it be to get the AC going after many years of non-service?

I have a 71 Charger, it has a vacuum controlled heating and cooling system.

smokes coming out of the vents on my car. i saw the heater core was leaking just a tiny bit the other day. i know it needs to be changed but is that why its smoking?

I have a 67 Barracuda whith two front defroster hoses that are falling apart. The driver’s side inlet is 2-1/4″ in diameter and the outlet (attaches to defroster vent) is 2-1/2″ in diameter. The passenger’s side inlet is 2″ and outlet is 2-1/2″ in diameter.

Thanks.

Many of you know that when you install a 440 or RB block in our A-bodies that there is often trouble getting the right valve cover off if the car is equipped with any cover other than a stock stamped steel cover.
