You'all were extremely helpful with the question about headlights that I
thought that I would pose another question to the learned group of
Chevelains. Hope you don't mind another so soon. Got part of the answer
earlier but now looking for more tricks and fixes.
In my 68 Chevelle - Air flow with the air conditioning. It don't
blow...it sucks. It has good cold air but air flow is not like I am now use
too with these modern systems. Just had a relay put in the line to the fan
motor - that helped the fan speed at lot at lower engine speed - changed out
the squirrel cage to a light weight plastic with a 325 ( I think ) CFM unit.
Helped as well but more puff is needed. Got any ideas. A 600 or up CFM
would be good but it is a small box and I am not really into major dollar
a/c redos. But I am open to anything. It is factory with an upgraded
compressor. Seems mainly just poor air speed.
As it is going, since it will be a little on the miserable side in July and
August her in Texas, my wrench is going to throw in a new cam, roller
rockers, "chrome" Edlebrock intake to replace the one that is not chrome(
figures), moon finned valve covers ( boy have those climbed in price since I
got a set in the 60's) and I am sure a few other things that will appear on
the bill that he has not told me about. He keeps looking at one of his
blown 502s and bigger sitting on engine stands in the back room and saying,
"it could fit, cept fot a leetle hole in the hood " and a big hole in my
wallet.
Other than the fun of trying to make something old behave like something
young ( yeah, that logic probably had something to do with my recent
divorce ) I'm starting to wonder if I should mount the Chevelle body on an
entire Corvette running system.
Especially going into summer in Texas, any help will be greatly appreciated.
You'all really helped on the lights. Running with crappy lights was a
serious inconvience, running without good air flow is bordering on human
abuse and should not be tolerated.
Thanks in advance. I hope to help with answers some day instead of just
questions.
