Restoring AC

Post by RS23U1RK6T8 » Tue Sep 07, 2010 11:01 am

Hi! I`m new in here :) . I have to confess that I`ve been here as a guest and have picked up a lot of info.
I`m restoring a `71 GTX. During taking it apart I took a few pictures of the heater/ac housing to keep track of parts. My problem is that I can`t get them back from the PC :rant: ,due to a harddrivecrash. The issue is where the sealing foam are placed on the doors inside :help: Thanx

Order up a gasket kit from Detroit Muscle Technologies here:

I used their kit on the heater box for my Road Runner. Their kit will come with everything you need including detailed instructions with lots of photos...

Could'nt agree more. Did the same to mine. Jim is a good guy, also sells his stuff on ebag. Very happy with the way my box turned out after cleaning it up.

there was a thin foam strip at the top of the AC core in mine. you could see where the tape mark was from the original.

there was also a foam pad on the back side of one of the flapper doors, to keep it from "clanking" when opening.
