Picture of V8 Larks with AC needed

Matthew,
To repeat, the pictures I need are where the hoses go through the firewall.
Maybe you can check the distance between the lower heater hose to the lower
AC hose.
Thanks,
Paul

There IS a mistake in those instructions in that figures 4 and 5 are
swapped. But since your measurements seem to be right on, it sounds like
you've already figured that out.
Looking at a '63 it does appear you'll need a right angle, or at least a
very compact drill. Actually, a lot AC installers used a special hand
operated tool that cuts a round plug of metal out of the firewall.

Paul,

You need to talk to the AC Wizard, Tally's own STUDEBAKER GEORGE.

His '62 Daytona has AC George did, and he now has a hose crimper. I've seen
the car many times, and its AC is absolutely perfect.

Paul,

Check out the pics from when Ray and I put AC on my Lark, it's got some
good pics of where the hoses go through the firewall.

I'm out of town, if you still need them I have a 63 Wagonaire V8 with
the engine out and front clip off, as well as a 63 Cruiser, I'll shoot
some pics on Wed when I get back.

Yep, George is the man for sure wjen it comes to AC. One of his areas
of expertise...

Anyways, here's some poor quality pics of under the hood of my
grandad's '62 Cruiser.
Factory AC, Power steering, and windshield washer.

That would be Tallahassee, Florida.
Maybe George will pop in and give his opinion...

Dwain,
I have the installation instructions for AC-3296 using kit AC-3297 for 6 cyl
models. What do you mean the figures are switched? Figure 4 shows the layout
of the holes in the firewall. Figure 3 is the layout for the holes in the
right front fender. Figure 5 is the hole layout and installation of the
condenser and reeiver.

Those plug cutters require the use of a guide hole for the bolt that pulls
the two pieces together to shear the hole. Hole is usually 3/8 inch.

_________________________________________
Yes, those illustrations are correct. I was looking at instructions for
kits AC-3221 and 3222. Matt's Yahoo album shows heater and A/C hoses in
place. Surprisingly enough it actually looks like there's more room to get
a drill motor in there on a V8 car. The manifolds are in the way on a six.
