Re: Keep Your Cool! Vintage Air Sure Fit Install in a 67 C-10

I guess I got a little sparse with the pics for the next step??? If I can remember, I'll snap some and post 'em later.

Anywho...

You now need to reinstall your A/C controller unit (wohoo, huh?) It installs through the backside of the dash and you use the two bolts you removed earlier from your heater unit to bolt the new A/C controller in place. All the wiring and cables should be installed and everything nice and tight.

More cable crap. This part was a little difficult too. Definitely not my favorite part of the install.

The short cable (A/C/Heat) goes to the lever sticking out near the middle of the underdash unit. There is a bracket that the cable bracket screws to. There should be approximately 13/16" from the black sheath to the center of the screw down bracket. You may need to adjust it before you tighten the screw down real good. Move the lever back and forth, if it moves freely and completely left to right all is good, screw the screw down tight.

The medium cable (heat/defrost) goes from the top lever and loops around under the dash and screws to the bracket on the far left side of the underdash unit. It should be approximately 1 1-16" from the end of the black sheath to the center of the screw down bracket. Again, check movement of the cable and lever before you tighten the screw and adjust as necessary.

The final long cable (temperature) goes through the provided firewall cap to under the hood. More on that later.

Here's a crappy pic for now of the bracket on the far left for the heat/defrost and I circled the bracket that the short cable for A/C/heat screws to.
