"I'd prefer to source an original or NOS if possible. I'm not sure the rubber boot will fit on those. Worse comes to worse I'll grab them. Thank you for the suggestion but I'm a stickler for OEM or original :)"

"The courtesy light switches are bad for going bad. All they do is take the circuits to ground and are easy to test. Just pop switch out, and unplug each of the 3 wires (2 or 3 wires) and touch each to the rim of metal. Each light circuit (e.g. dash,…"

Vintage Air AC

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
