Engine bay pictures
« on: November 16, 2013, 06:47:14 PM »
I recently acquired a 66 GT convertible with Air Con & Power steering and I am looking for a couple engine bay photos which show the fan belt positions, as I don't think mine are correct.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Herman,

This topic was discussed in detail earlier this year.

This should get you what you're looking for.

Regards,

Really not enough info to do that IMHO. When was the car built - Thermactor or non- Thermactor?

Guessing this is factory installed AC

That's correct Jeff the air con fitted appears to be factory fitted, also the car has a DSO 72 and Build code 15K (15th October). 

Note I am after photos with both Thermactor or non- Thermactor, as the car isn't going to be entered into Concours judging (at this stage) but would like ot to appear as close to factory as possibe.

Regards
Herman

Here are some- they are all starting to look the same  ;)

Difficult to see all the details since the radiator support and radiator are in the way so I've included a fair number from some different angles

Thanks Jeff

You would happen to have any photos without the Thermactor by any chance?

The first 3 attached pictures illustrate the an AC setup with power steering but without a thermactor (the AC compressor not yet installed in the pictures but you can see the general idea).  This is from a late '65 A code installation (should be the same for your '66).  It includes dealer installed "anti-slap non-adjustable idler" which isn't factory installed. 

The last 3 picture are of the engine installed in the car.

Regards,

Ron
