Default Re: Airconditioning for Model A

Elrod...THANKS for the pictures. They're the only ones I've seen of a typical installation of one of Ken's system. It sure would be nice if Ken's website had pictures of the installation...maybe some instructions for potential purchasers to review. (hint...hint...hint ) I've never read anything derogaotry about Ken Davis' systems....everything has always been positive. It's surely the one I want to install.

Question...in your last picture, it appears the condensor coil/fan is hanging down considerably beneath the rear-end. Does the condensor coil hang down as far as it looks, Elrod? ...or can the mounts be shortened to lessen the angle? Is there a compelling reason to have it hang that low? I would assume that's to allow more free air to flow through the condensor. Could one acccomplish the same by bending some sheet aluminum scoops/ducts?

I'm asking because I need to evaluate whether or not to restore our '29 Leatherback BEFORE I install one of Ken's systems, or wait to do it as the car is restored. Right now, it's a reasonably good driver, and frankly I'd like to keep it that way for a while. But, at the same time, I don't want to let Jippy Car just sit all summer long as our summertime weather just so brutal...hot and humid...opening the windows and windshield just allow more hot and humid air to circulate and that does NOTHING to keep us cool. I'd be interested in your thoughts...

Thanks in advance...
