Thank you for passing along your discovery, a very timely tip.

That's "cool" Rob, yes I remember that one and there were probably several versions of "Cool-Aire" over the years. Here's a link to...

If......my memory is right, the dealer-installed underdash unit was called "Cool-Aire?"

Something like this looks cool but no guarantee....http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-CHRYSLER-CUSTOM-COOL-AIRE-SYSTEM-UNIT-2027792-1968-PLYMOUTH-DODGE-CHRYS-/151157110597?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2331aa7745&vxp=mtr

Wet towel on the dash. Dab your forehead, neck, and arms with a rag in ice water. Drink cold water and chew ice constantly. Battery-powered or 12-volt fan. It's not that bad.

Most of us have days that are like a blues song no one wrote because it wouldn't even be a good blues song. I enjoyed reading it all the way through til the happy ending. Sometimes it helps just to vent doesn't it?

Sure would suck having other drivers saying "did you see that poor guy with the beautiful blue Barracuda broken down on the way to Carlisle..."

I know how you feel Dusterkid I once had an 'idea' before a long trip, I wrapped a few of those blue plastic freezer things in wet washcloths and fastened up to the vents, called it 'Mexican Air Conditioning' (no offense to any Mexican people) but it did not work well.

In the '65 owners manual, they show 2 options: factory a/c with integrated controls on the dash for heat & defrost and the chrome vents, and "cool air" dealer-installed a/c. Both will freeze you out.:cheers:

Yeah, I think that happened to me too within a few weeks of ownership. I bet there's a radiator shop around where you live. Have your radiator recored, it's always nice to keep the original look under the hood.

I went thru this too and spent a lot to have a custom radiator made. In hindsight, what I learned is you don't need the exact radiator, other years will work, but the outlets must be in the right location. You may have to do some minor fabbing with the brackets and drill new mounting holes. Also...

Please let us know when you figure it out, I'm having a similar problem, blower only works when I run a wire from the battery. I'm following your thread. Good luck and welcome to FABO.

It would be better to take it to a good radiator shop, then you will still have the correct radiator.

Wish I would have known about these guys, I shelled out $500+. Seems like the first thing and old car needs when you buy it is a new radiator. If it were me I would call them and ask where they are manufactured. Their warranty sounds good, for as long as you own the car, and the price is good...

Maybe if you stop hatin' on that car, it won't give you so many problems. Hey, it's worth a try...

My fan was installed backwards, car ran hot on highway. Just a thought that came to mind.

Sorry, back to the subject of the thread, radiators. To share my experience 1-800-RADIATORS got me to a local company who took my order over the phone, with me stating the dimentions, outlets, and other details then had it built for me somewhere, it was here in a couple weeks. $524. Pricey yes...

I don't see it as a can of worms at all...somewhere along the way people have lost the inner motivation to do their best. It's that simple.
