"Hi Dave,
As Chris said, put your ear close to each of the vacuum hoses around the carburetor and intake manifold. With the heat, they become brittle. Look specifically at the 11/32 vacuum hose to the check valve off…"
"Check for vacuum leaks, a common source for hissing noises. The vacuum hoses commonly become hard and brittle after enough time in the heat of the engine compartment. They often harden and leak at the end points. You can sometimes snip of the…"

Vintage Air AC
Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments 0 Likes
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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

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