    Thank  you Marty, somewhat of a rare piece from Spokane Washington.

    That is a clean engine bay, and n ice to se a lot of the original hardware still there ... including the cad plate bolts, hinges, etc. Ha Ha. You also have the service plate on top left side of radiator support... don't see that on a lot of these cars.  From 60 parts cars, I might have seen 3 or 4.

    Did you convert your A/C to non-Comfort Control? I don't see the transducer on the blower casing.

    Kurt. The retrofitted master "steamboat" switch was installed after they left the factory as a bypass to the "time delay" switch which I understand was not reliable. I am sort of forgetting the timing but remember there were 2 or 3 recalls and that was part of the "update".  A good % of the 64's, especially the early production never saw this upgrade and you will not see any reference to it in any version of the shop manual I am aware of.   This would be a good history topic to drill down when and how that "retrofit" occurred but I have seen quite a 64's with AC (i.e. Comfort Control) without this recall item.

    The transducer was the cigar shaped part mounted tot he power servo on a cutout on the inside air box. It worked in conjunction with the power servo and converted electrical signal to a relative vacuum for opening and closing the AC/Heat door.
