That's the best modified box I've seen yet. Well done. The glove box they send with the unit obviously doesn't fit at all. I don't even know what they were thinking with that. There's ill fitting and then there's the classic auto air glove box which is in it's own league. Did you tackle the...

Unless you just don't want to do it, I wouldn't pay anyone to do this job. It's not difficult and doesn't require any special skills. It takes some time if you want to ensure everything is clean and nice when you put it back in but if I was going to pay someone to do a 4-5 hour job, it would be...

Thanks my radio didn't work anyway so I didn't feel too bad about cutting out the back corner of it. I needed a good inch and a half clearance.

Has anyone had trouble installing the factory radio in with the Classic Auto Air box being in the way? The thumbwheel radio on my 68 Barracuda has zero chance of fitting in there.

I bought a throttle bracket from them a week ago and they've still yet to ship it.

Yeah I'm not sure what you're talking about here but there's no dial. The CAA kit has you swap out the fan switch for their switch and then it has you modify and hook up the potentiometer sliding mechanisms to the mode lever and temp lever. I've only ever seen dial controllers on aftermarket...

Excuse my ignorance but what is an original dial controller? I've never heard of it. Have a pic you could share?

Any idea what application the 4 groove pulley you used was from? I don't have any in my spares and I'd hate to play the guessing game with buying online if there's like 57 different 4 groove pulleys out there.

It took forever for me to get everything lined up with one belt. Just dropped the engine in so it'll probably be another month or so before I start her up. Not looking forward to having to redo all that work if the single belt slips. Really appreciate the write up. Have this bookmarked for...

Good stuff. You're running into all the same issues the rest of us had. Nothing earth shattering difficult but they definitely need to remove the "perfect fit" from the name once you realize all the modifications that need to be made in order to make it all work. I wouldn't even waste your time...

I'm currently dealing with all this as well. Had to make a bracket for the water valve. Modified the slide control wire so I can get full travel on the sliders. Haven't installed the dash controls yet so I'm sure I'll run into that fitment issue as well. I have a magnum engine with the correct...

Hey John was the mod to the compressor bracket done in order to move the compressor closer to the front of the engine? On my magnum engine, the standard Buchillion bracketry has the compressor sitting on the bypass hose and back far enough to block the upper radiator hose from attaching to the...

I don't know if this will be successful or not but this is what I've got. It's really close to the wiper linkage but doesn't make contact. Also can't use the fresh air vent with this method but I never use them anyway. My main concern is actually the speedo cable. I think it's going to block...

Thanks for the replies. I'll try it and see what happens.

Yeah that's correct. Thanks for simplifying it.

Which pulleys specifically?

Yeah the crank inner groove will run the water pump and alternator. Basically this setup.

Thanks they're both from CVF and they basically line up perfect. The belt is too long but I was just using it as a prop to show the issue I had going on.

The plan is to run a belt on the inner groove of the crank for the water pump and alternator. Outer groove of the crank for the compressor and power steering. Problem is that it also runs down the outer groove of the water pump pulley. I have a feeling this is a no go but I wanted to check here...

I brain farted on smashing it above the steering column. It could still be done but then you'd have to reduce it to get by the e brake. My brake is out right now so I wasn't accounting for it at the time. Going to pick up some pipe and adapters at home depot and see what I can figure out...

I'm going to just smash mine right above the steering column. Looks like I'll have 40-50% air flow if I do that and I don't have to worry about rigging anything up with PVC. I test fitted it this weekend and it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. I'll see if a little trimming in there might...

I think I have two possible solutions. I'm putting it in a 68 Barracuda and the steering column is out. I believe the hose will fit above the steering column and in between the brackets in the dash right above the column. The hose will definitely get squished, possibly by 30-50% but I think it...

Have you done the driver side duct routing yet? I had some things come up and haven't attempted it yet.

The tubes on my 68 Barracuda sat on the bottom of the firewall opening as well. It took a second set of hands but once I put the cover plate on and lined the cover plate with the factory holes, this moved the tubes up off the bottom of the firewall opening. It's good that they aren't riding on...

I've yet to do it but I will once I attempt it.

That's good to know. I'll reduce it down and see how it flows around the linkage when I get a chance. I'm at the point where I'm installing the condenser so I need to paint the radiator support before I continue on with that. I had to do some fabrication to get the condenser to install...

Damn was hoping you had a genius idea that we haven't thought about yet! Wiper linkage is a serious problem with this one.

Anyone else have any opinions on routing the driver side hose? @loganscuda @6pk2goDemon I'm looking at it and scatpackbee's method of constricting the hose down is the only real method that seems like it would work without looking goofy and running it under the column. I'm just not happy...

I wound up copying your bracket. Thanks for the tip! How did you route the driver side ducting to the box under the dash? I don't have the steering column or dash bezel in and it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of room regardless. Any tips there? Just trying to avoid having to redo it...

Sounds like yours works better than mine since it was halfway open at the halfway point of the slider travel. Had no idea about the bracket for the water valve. I'll probably wind up having to do the same thing. I haven't gotten to the point of hooking the ducting up yet. I got the box...
