I have been dealing with Estate matters and a wrist operation as well. I am now getting a little closer to finishing the AC system. I am waiting for a #10, 90 deg fitting. I still need to route the heater hoses, route the defrost/heat hose, drain line, and complete mounting the evaporator. I...

I just ordered a 16 X 20 Condenser with installed Drier from Nostalgic Air. Looking forward to getting this job completed.

No leaks so far! And I found my missing radiator clamp. Right where I left it. at the thermostat housing. Duh

After a very long amount of time and effort I got the fittings installed. I am hopeful nothing leaks. Now I need to know what size AC Condenser to buy. The opening is approximately 23 1/2 X 18 inches. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

If all else fails, I plug/cap both heater hose connections and not worry about it. This is Florida. By the way, it does get cold here.

I don't think I trust myself with a torch under my hood. In hopes there would be enough room for a 90 deg hose.

Back to the drawing board. I tried to remove the plug with my impact wrench and modified 3/8" extension and it did not move. I am very reluctant to even try to remove the hose fitting. There isn't any room to put a pipe wrench on the nipple either. Time to buy a 55 gallon drum of Penetrating Oil...

Thanks for the help and explanation.

I finally got to start installing my Vintage Air system. The instructions say to replace the heater hose fitting on the intake manifold with a 45 deg fitting. Can I move the heater hose fitting to the hole that has the plug in it? I think it would be a better fit. I may use a 45 deg. eventually...

I think I want it, depending on your price Please let me know. I sent you a PM.

I wish I would have known before I bought it. Cheap lesson I guess.

The original "car" trim is taller, wider, and a different design too.

I bought a left rear taillight trim piece from another station wagon, and it does not fit. Oh well.

I have decided to just leave things the way they are. I do have a good set of cast iron manifolds installed.

That is exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks
