Airconditioning for Model A

[modelamaniac]

Well I will try to answer a few more questions. First my wife goes to College full time and she did the website which she was suppossed to add some more things to it this summer but she got busy. So thankyou Elrod for the pictures. The unit can be heat or cool. I have sold a lot of heat and cool to Alabama and the Carolina's. I had a heat and cool in my slant window and I did not like it. The cool only unit's have the biggest coil on the market for underdash 32 pass. When you go to a heat and cool 6 of the tubes are now heat and are cool. We took the unit from my sedan and put it in my dad's coupe it works good there but not in my sedan. In Texas yesterday it got up to 110 where I was yesterday so we need all the cooling capacity we can get. But like I said my customers east of TX. prefer the heat and cool. The heat and cool is $40.00 more this includes the valves and control cables. Snyder's sell's a real nice upper and lower waterneck for the heater hoses or I have ones that go into the hoses. I have made a change since Elrod installed his unit I supply a relay for the fan that allows the fan to cycle with the clutch which does not happen much when it is 100 outside. The condensor needs to be mounted at a angle the fan pulls air from the front if the fan is to flat the hot air will cause the high pressure switch to turn the compressor off. At the National two years ago we had a coupe on display blowing 42 deg. from the vents with outside temp. of 95. Last thing you do not have to have a modified engine to run the system you cannot tell a power loss at any speed. Let me know if you need to know anything else.

On the side mounted emergeny handle the bracket tilts the handle back for clearance. On the front handle you have to shorten the handle (Cut at bottom in weld seam) or change to latter side mount. I have shortened several front handles and they still work good.

Damn, Ken...you make it hard to say "No"... My next question would have been about the emergency brake handle. Our car is a '29 with the hand brake up front. It doesn't have original floor boards, so I have little problem with cutting the floor boards...and I don't need the heater feature as we have an Otwell Health Heater installed...works nicely, too.

I'll be in touch...soon... You've got a really nice set up there, Ken...
