Just some random food for thought, it's been my experience that vendors often list parts for 64-66 and leave the 63 out as it's kind of an odd duck being a transition year and the vendors were uncertain. What works for the '64-'66 works for the '63. In fact I'm pretty sure I have a '65 core in...

Why would you do that though, some sort of religious reasons not to use a valve? For $15 I would think it would be worth it to have on/off capability when wanted, not stress the heater core by constantly pushing and pulling hoses on and off, and losing coolant which is pricey in of itself.

Yep, sealing the vent and blend doors is only going to do so much. The box will still get hot with the coolant flowing through it so it'll pass plenty of conductive heat. I can vouch for that metal knob getting real hot! Confirmed it when I did my test.:sunny: Originally I wanted to use a ball...

Thought I'd share this with you guys. As some of you may know, I've been R&Ring my heater box, replacing the core, and cleaning my cowl vents in my '63. When I put it all together I decided to try a trick from the Days of Olde and put a manual shut off switch in the coolant line that...

Okay, I checked out those other cars. The other 63 does have the dimples, neither '65s do. FWIW anyways. :-s

Yep, I'll definitely check the flip side for clearance or obstructions. Curious thing about those dimples, I didn't see them in the other '63 or two other '65s that I have here either. They all did have those four large ones though. I'll check again later. It may not be important, but it is...

Dang, my engine bay is going to be the envy of everybody. LOL. :toothy7:

Thanks for the info and referral Charrlie, that helps a lot! Dave, sure, I'll take any pics I can to help guide me here. Thanks again for all the help guys! Here's some pics of what I think are the A/C dimples on the '63. If someone can confirm that'd be great and it'd answer the question if...

Hi Charlie, thanks for the reply! That should do the trick, that 4th picture give me a guide where to look. I do have a '65 parts/project car so if I can find the dimples on that one I can measure the locations for the '63 if it doesn't have them. I'll check tomorrow when there is light. Yep...

Okay, it looks the firewall design changed over the years. Where those lines go through is about where my wiper motor is mounted on the other side. So I guess what I'll need are pics from the '63 to '66 models. Anything will be appreciated.

Thanks! I had no idea that's where they'd be, I had assumed they'd be to the passenger right. Maybe that's why I couldn't find the dimples. I'll have to check again. I wonder if they used the same heater box in both a/c and non a/c models, I'll have to climb under the dash and see if there's a...

I've been planning to put A/C in my '63 Valiant. I have all the hardware, except the hoses), to install an under dash unit. I need to know the best way to run the hoses through the firewall. Does anyone have any pics of A/C hoses under the hood of an early A-Body? I was told there are dimples to...
