The compressor manifold isn’t pictured. I bought one from Bill that was already ultrasound cleaned and pressure tested. The lines pictured I have chased down from various places. The hardest ones to find are the 68 only, big block only ones. The copper one that bolts to the engine and the...

I don’t know. He’s a super nice guy and after I did my research on him he has been in the auto parts rebuilding business for a lot of years. Topher did my wiper motor for me as he is not too far away. It’s a work of art honestly.

So I bought a compressor from this guy and through further talks as I was extremely happy with the service and promptness I found out this fella restores lines and hoses as well. His name is Bill Peake and I even sourced some original compressor brackets from him. I know a lot of folks have...

I am sure someone can use them.

Pretty sure the the straight one goes on the driver side of the engine and the one with a twist goes on the back of the engine.

It takes two different ones.

Well I vehemently disagree! The reason being is I caught one I have been chasing for over a year now. These were probably the hardest parts I have tried to chase down in my life. 1968 only, B body only, big block only. Not alot of those sitting around the wrecking yards anymore and if they are...

This is the last hose I need to have everything to complete my factory AC system on my 68 roadrunner four speed post car. I have sourced everything else. If anyone can help me find it I would appreciate it. The diagram below shows it underlined in red.

On the early big block cars with the cast iron bracket for the compressor does the negative battery cable and the throttle return around bracket still sand which under the same intake bolt as without AC? It’s gonna have to loop out towards the apron and around this bracket if so. Just curious...

Yeah getting the rubber part replaced is the easy part. More interested in finding someone who restores the hard lines and does the pressure testing. Original Air being shuttered by Vintage was a huge loss to the hobby

So I have sourced almost all of the lines for my 68 roadrunner. The compressor is new and the discharge manifold has already been cleaned, pressure tested, and painted. The heater box has already been rebuilt. I still like the discharge hose coming off the discharge manifold having them all but...

Hydraulic flat tappet

Adter measuring a few times I cut 1/2” off the input and put a bevel back on it.

It’s just on there finger tight. Have a a case of Wix filters on the shelf for break in and use on my other cars and trucks. .

I know people put them on run stands all the time. I was more wondering if anybody had did it on a K frame dolly such as this. But your sarcasm is noted.
