    So that project which just a fee moments ago seemed impossible to me nite had the possibility of success! I pulled my blower housing to install my upgraded fan and I noticed the the spirit seemed like it would just slide right off to the side and was being held down by one screw! So I undid it and sure enough it came the evaporator core with its whole housing! However I did accidentally break the cable that actuates the door to bring in fresh air. I think I can fab something up to make it work. I'm going to take the core to an AC do and see if they can tell me if it's any good and make some hoses for me!

    After looking at it closer, I am thinking that I might not do it. The connectors for the evaporator core are way up in the dash that's hard to reach, and I really don't want to pull the dash Since the wiring is a mess... Anyone have any idea where one of those under dash units would fit nicely?

    I'll give it a try and see if I can install it without pulling the dash. I guess I could pull the dash dice I am doing a bunch of work on it right now. I have been looking for a good excuse to dynamat the fire wall!

    Thank you for your help, so from yoir previous post would I be safe to assume that the size of lijes and fittings that I will.need will all be size 6 or 8?

    Sorry to bug you guys again, but if I were to buy one of those all in one AC kits on eBay would it have the fittings I would need to connect to the Z's evaporator? Specifically, I am looking at the kits which include a compressor, condensor, drier, under dash evaporator ect...

    Since you have done this, could you possibly point me in the direcrion I could find some fittings that would connect to the evaporator? All of my hoses and stuff are gone and thats my biggest trip up. I dont wanna order some stuff and not be able to connect it up to my old evaporator...
  7. josephdaniel
    I do have one more question. What sort of connectors would I need to connect to the evaporator and the expansion valve? Are they a standardized thread so that I could just go down to the auto parts site and pull one off of the shelf? Of course nothing is ever that simple, but I have to ask...

    Hi all, I'm my Z I discovered that the original evaporator was left in the system when the previous owner was stripping weight. Apparently it qas too hard to get at for him. I am working on getting my HVAC working and I was wondering if the old evaporator would be able to survive tge pressures of R134a of everythin else in the system was new. From what I understand I should need the following parts Condenser r134a expansion valve r134a pressure switch Dryer/Receiver PAG oil Compressor Hoses/fittings. How likely would I be to get a system that works a bit? It would be nive in the centeral Texas heat... I would go with the Vintage Air system, but I hate their controll panels..

    That's awesome. I'm definitely ordering one! Can you pull the blower box out without taking out the whole dash?Also is it true you can feel air coming out when the fan is on low speed?!
  10. josephdaniel
    Hour big of an improvement its third blower exactly? Specifically I am wondering if you can feel the air cone out of the side vents. On my Z hardly any comes out and I have checked ask the houses and everything... I would like to actually feel these vents work!

    Thanks Lance. Parts I ordered the sensor and the associated connwctors. I have a feeling I will need some sord of adaptor for this. Anyone know what the thread pitch is?

    So today I started wireing up my new Tarus fan and a controll system from parts I have laying around. I was able to make up a switching system from SPDT relays in parallel (vecause there is allot of current) and one SPST. I have tested everything out by hand manually grounding the relays to turn on the fan and everything works great!The only problem I have is I dont know which temp sensor to get. I know I will need something that has two outputs for two speeds and something that has the right temp range for my SBC 350. Anyone have any idea where I could pick one up that will have the right range and work with a two speed fan?

    I'm looking for a window for the drivers side door that will fit a 1977 280z. I just bought a complete door today at a sale with a bunch of Zs, but the one that I grabbed was from a 76 and did not fit my 77 I am also looking for the top corner on the passenger side of the windshield chrome trim... If anyone has the left and right sloped small pieces to the rear hatch and the standoffs that hold them up I will need those too. If anyone has anything please PM me. I am located in Austin Tx

    Thanks, I am not very good at coming up with ideas like that... I should be able to whip something up that will work now that I have an idea of what I am doing!

    Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to a cable shifter that would be great too...
