Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition
Took a step back on the AC install. Had the wrong evaporator unit for under the dash. Was never going to fit right. Got that all sorted out with tech support over at Old Air Products and have a new unit on its way. Got the electrical harness for under the hood stuffed into the new plastic sheath and mounted the terminal bulkhead to the firewall. Plugged in a few items on the harness, and made up the new positive and negative battery cables. Installed the starter, then did a test fit for the air cleaner to make sure it would clear the compressor for the AC.
Going to do a temporary install of the old radiator so I can get her fired up soon. Ordered a 3-row aluminum one off of Evilbay and really do not want that from stopping me from getting it running. I am guessing in the next day or so it should be ready to start up. Once I have it running then I can drive in and out of the garage so I can start painting parts that are ready.
