A/C underdash Unit
« on: November 13, 2010, 01:51:15 PM »
Does anyone have a coule of pictures of the decals on the upper surfaces of the A/C evaporator blower housing.  One of them looks to be large red letters that is some kind of ATENTION NOTE.  The other one is small black lettering and stamping with the date and charging information

I cannot make out mine, and I want to recreate them.

  • If it does not fit, you need a bigger hammer!

I am still in the middle of a move but I have a unit with stickers still on it. Will do my best to photo them and post.

On a March 66 Metuchen car...  The underdash evap unit has a threaded rod at the back that acts like a "kickstand" to support the rear of the unit at the right height.

Q:  Didn't I see somewhere where the bttom of this threaded rod has a nut on the bottom of it to distibute the load.  If I remember right, it was a seat to floor attaching nut that holds the seats in.  Is this correct?

I always thought the nut was to lock the rod in place once adjusted.

Well Charles,
After looking at my Osborne book, you are right.  The picture I saw,
I guess, was one where somebody had just put one of those seat nuts on upside down to push down on the carpet.

It just looked like it made sense for it to be there.

The threaded rod is tapered to a rounded point that looks like it mau penetrate the carpet after a few hundred pot-holes.
