Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
It's a lot easier if you take the hood off - that's what I do whenever I need to work in that area. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward. I can send you pictures if needed!

Won't you be able to put it in though the grille openingComment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
You might be able to, but you may have a very hard time connecting the lines. With the hood off it's really easy. All it takes is six bolts on the hinges and two on the support. Two people can do it easily.

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
I don't have any of the lines to hook up yet. I'm looking to get things in order so I can install the grill and bumpersComment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
Why not go ahead and install the grill and bumpers. They won't be in the way when you put in the condenser if the hood is off. Trust me, I have four factory A/C cars and I have changed condensers way to often!Comment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
I was thinking it would help if they were off. The problem is I didn't take it apart. And never worked on a a AC car Thanks for the feed back And I'm guessing the condenser should be semi gloss blackComment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
Yes it should be semigloss black.
Here's a picture of my '67 - with the hood off:Comment

Robert it looks like your intake fitting for the heater hose is the long one. the JG says its short. whats your reasoning? and thanks for your helpComment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
Yes it should be short. Not sure why I ended up with the long one, but it's still a national top flight car, judges didn't catch it!Comment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
Robert can you describe or show a picture of the screws that hold the condenser to the brackets.Comment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
The condenser is mounted to the core support with four hex head bolts - the same bolts that hold the fan shroud in place. It's shown in the '67 assembly manual in the C60 section!

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
Yes I know that. I was talking about how the condenser itself attaches to the brackets. I see the condenser has four tabs on each side for a total of eight tabs. Are regular production j nuts on the condenser with small sheet metal screws to attach.
This his car was all torn apart when I got it. I have built a 67 before but it's a non AC. And I can't find what I am asking about in LIC. and I am not sure if I even have the original fasteners that came with the car in a un-sorted messComment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
I can't visualize what you are referring to regarding the four tabs on the condenser. Can you post a picture?Comment

Re: installing a AC condenser in a 67 BB
At each end on both on sides of the condenser there is a tab with a hole. And and the bracket it self there are holes that line up to the condenser tabs. Sorry don't have the part close by to post picturesComment
