Hey guys,
hope you can help me one more.
I'm wondering how the correct wiring of the AC-compressor ground should be. If you do it like in the original shop manual on page 13-45 (Fig. 13-32, marked red), the compressor does not have any contact to the ground, because of of the rubber shock absorber of the compressor. So there must be an additional wiring from the compressor to somewhere with ground. Currently my wiring is attached to the bolt where you can adjust the tension of the belt, but this is not very practical.
How was it originally in 1964? Do you know?

Jason, thank you for the photo. I think this solution is the best.
But in the shop manual page 13-44, Note 37a. (Compressor Removal and Installation) #6 the text is: 'Disconnect clutch coil wires and remove screw securing ground wire to compressor'
So it should be correct on the compressor.
As I found out, with some more investigation, one car does have the ground on the compressor, another on the right thermostat housing, another again does have a longer wire, which connected to a bolt on the engine block etc.
@ Dan: rubber mounts on the rear of the compressor?! I don't have rubber mounts there. Is it possible to take a picture?
no one can post a photo, with a correct installed wiring? ;)

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

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!
