So, I reckon I should have anticipated this, but... The dash speaker is blown. I shined a light on top of it when I had the cluster out and didn’t see any light coming through, so I assumed the surround was good, but it self destructed after a few minutes of talk radio. Does the whole cluster...

Map light! Any tricks to getting the speedo cable to snap back in? I just cannot get my hands on it. Looks like the rest of the cable is enclosed in the column, so I can’t push up on it either!

The radio works! Working on putting the dash back together now. Any idea what this should plug into? I have manual AC. Everything is hooked up to the hvac controls, and it doesn’t go to the radio, and I don’t see any other harnesses loose in the center dash area. Just don’t want to miss...

1971. AC and AM radio are about the only options it’s got.

I ordered the thermal one, as that’s what tends to be on all of them. There was a non thermal option, that’s not correct, is it?

Fan clutch is on order. It’s shot. Takes no effort to spin it at all.

Hi, Single Evaporator. Wish I had dual units. That’s a really cool setup.

Hi, I’m keeping R-12 in it. System was overhauled in the late 80’s it looks like. Four Seasons compressor, Dayco A/C lines, replacement drier and EXV. I wanted to verify it’s operation, so I pulled a vacuum overnight, and let it sit for three hours while I went out to check for leaks. Still...

Sorry guys, I’m an absolute idiot. If it was a snake it would have bit me. Currently have three cans in. Need to adjust the ac belts once the engine cools a bit because those puppies are hating life right now. Rear belt is tight-ish, but the front belt has 1” or so of deflection and is...

I’m not seeing a ‘suction’ fitting on the low side. Just the two fittings on the compressor, and the line from compressor to condenser. :(

Hi all, In the midst of doing my dash repairs, I’m also recharging my air conditioner. I’ve pulled a vacuum on it overnight, and over the last two hours I’ve not lost any vacuum. My question is...do I attach the can to the fitting directly on the head of the compressor? The other fitting is on...

This is the only surviving bracket I have, and I really have no idea if it’s oriented/bent properly. Where does it mount? My whole fascia/support was hacked up to fit the radio in. I’ve since tracked down a replacement fascia, and just ordered a support bracket. How long are those screws...

Hi all, Got a ‘71 NY here that I’m trying to fix the dash on. The PO backed the middle of the dash to put in a double din navigation unit and I’m trying to fix it. I have the original radio, but I have no idea how it’s supposed to mount and secure in the dash. There’s a hole. I see the two...
