A/C Condenser
« on: January 19, 2011, 02:33:42 PM »
On my 66 Car in my signature...  What A/C Condenser would you guys suggest for a concours driven restoration ?

If anyone has one or more pictures of what an original should look like, I'd appreciate it.

The Drake one has a cutout at one of the fittings.  Some have round flues with exposed 180's on each side.  Some have a channel cover over the 180's.
I'd just like to know the most accurate way to go.

Thanks

I don't have a 66 car nearby to inspect.   Would someone please post pics of what an original condenser looks like, or if anyone is around Atlanta, let me come look at yours.

Thanks Jeff.

Looks like it's POSSIBLE I may have a real one?

I believe this is an original from my 9/65 SJ car is this helps.  Looks similar to yours to me.  I would guess that SJ and the Eastern plants could have had different suppliers, like the radiators?

No, I don't think so.
