    the Heater Delete option?

    Glad to help. There really isn't much out there on the internet in regards to these boxes so hopefully it helps others down the line as well.

    the Heater Delete option?

    This is where the door and hinge separated. The hole in the hinge is from a rivet. I had to be real careful when drilling them out, this stuff is so fragile. Normally, there's a little tab/wing on the bottom and top edges of the door with holes. The hinge had angled tabs that fit into the door...

    the Heater Delete option?

    As promised, here are some pictures of my right-side 'heater delete' vent box. Don't mean to side-track this from the OP question but it's sort of relevant. I have the little door handle, just forgot to show it in these pics. The foam rubber seal gasket is wasted. The seller sent me...

    the Heater Delete option?

    Ha, that's funny about the FB group ad, probably your best shot these days. Unfortunately though, you're probably coming up empty because as far as I know, '67-'69 Barracudas were never produced down in Australia, only Valiants. Chrysler Australia was a low budget operation and it's highly...

    the Heater Delete option?

    In the pic I posted you can see what the rivets look like (above the door opening) because there is a seam on the front of the box as well. I'll let you in on a secret - about 10-12 years ago I actually got my right-side fresh air box through an Ebay Australia autcion. Their cars are...

    the Heater Delete option?

    Yeah... not an easy project. The box itself is totally different. You can't just flip the left side around, it would have to be turned inside-out to work. I think the easiest solution might be to cut the vent box out of a complete, right-hand heater box assembly and graft it on to a left side...

    the Heater Delete option?

    Don't forget when you take the heater out you'll need a heater delete fresh air door!

    the Heater Delete option?

    This is on my Duster and obviously not a rallye dash but you get the idea. It's no thicker than a normal climate control bezel. The finish is also the same as a regular one which is sort of a satin; The trim is vacuum plated chrome which is clearly faded on mine. I'm not sure what this came out...

    Do you have a 67 barracuda 383 7 blade fan picture?

    OK couple more tidbits of info regarding this "202" fan. Member Ch1ll alerted me to the fact that there is another fan listed for the '67 A body big block cars that came equipped with the Cleaner Air Package, part number 2863203. This was confirmed by my parts encyclopedia friend so I have no...

    Do you have a 67 barracuda 383 7 blade fan picture?

    Yes, it's a unicorn! A one year only part for '67 'Cuda and Dart GTS w. 383 engine, 2" pitch, 18" diameter, part number 2863202. The reason I know this is because I took the one you see below off my '68 Coronet (383) a few years ago and went to a clutch fan. At the time I didn't know what it...

    ECP radiator issues.

    ECP radiator issues.

    Yep, I totally agree. Hard to understand where they came up with their measurements. Again, the entire radiator is too tall for the core support. I wondered why he asked me to measure it top to bottom, I thought that was an odd thing but I went along with it. He must know it's too tall. There...

    ECP radiator issues.

    Just thought I'd update here. I went and ordered an ECP radiator/fan shroud combo and their dual fan controller. The radiator arrived OK but the fan controller was not sent with it. Got on the phone and they sent one out right away, received it a few days later. The radiator itself looks...

    Electric water pump

    I believe electric water pumps have come a long way since 2008. They are pretty common on street cars now. Most flow upwards of 35 GPM, some are 55. If it's not an everyday driver, it's probably fine. For an electric water pump to work on a street-driven car, the rest of the cooling system...

    ECP radiator issues.

    Glad this came up, I'm going to buy an ECP radiator. They look fine for the price. Drilling a few holes in a mounting bracket is no big deal. Did you buy the 22" or 26"? I've done a lot of research on this recently (this weekend, today) and theirs looks pretty darn good. I like how the info on...

    heater delete general questions

    No, because there is no stand-alone defroster, it's all contained in the heater box. If you remove the blower motor, you are removing the defrost function. Normally, there's a door inside the box that diverts the air from the blower through the vent hoses (actuated by the slider selector on...

    heater delete general questions

    I managed to make my '71 Duster heater delete and look factory. You need the correct dash bezel, firewall plate and heater delete fresh air box. Finding a real heater delete fresh air box is pretty much impossible as is the '70-up heater delete dash bezel. Dash vents are still there AFAIK...

    DIY Heater delete vent

    If you get going fast enough, the incoming air may force that vent open. Some guys have used a left side stand alone vent. The vent door hinge would be on the 'wrong' side but it serves the same purpose. You could modify one also. I actually bought two right side vent boxes from Australia...

    Heater Cover/Plate on Firewall

    AndyF makes one. See here. I got a repro plastic one off Ebay before AR Engr. started making them. The one I got wasn't made well at all, it was rough and porous. I may get the AR one anyway to save myself the trouble of fixing the other one. You could also make one fairly easily. Its just a...

    Skep149 got me thinking about the HHR fan deal with his post here. There's also a lot of info on Moparts about it too. Looks like it may work fairly well and is a 'budget' kind of deal. Of course, this is not a plug and play operation and generally requires some thought and fitting. Seems...
