There are aftermarket A/C companies in the street rod space that make custom systems that will freeze you out. Vintage Air is one of them ( I think they're still in business )
Vintage Air is still in business. It's a little outrageous what they get for a 'common' system, but I'm sure $4,500 is pocket change for someone in this space! 🤣
Funny my rear cig lighter I noticed had a broken piece on its bottom. Not sure what’s it’s called. But I agree with you about the necessity of having 12V available. Anyway it’s nice for everything to work on a classic like these. Thanks for the video!
Here's a video of my first drive in this particular car: th-cam.com/video/zjtXmSPyLbs/w-d-xo.html It's a little louder than a regular C/4. At the time, I had an identical C/4 at my shop, and the second one was much quieter. Thanks for watching.
Super
Forza Tom! Great success
What is your humidity?
Important for wet bulb reference
It was pretty humid, but exactly what, i don't know!

The cost of trying to fit one of those systems could get prohibitively expensive. Space under the dash in this car is pretty tight.
I managed to spend half that amount in parts to replace almost the whole system in this Ferrari! Thanks for watching.
Vintage air has a 4 pass single row evaporator as their vintage unit - seems inadequate put a pusher configuration is efficient

The cigarette lighter ( or should I call it a 12v plug?) was the easiest part to source for this Ferrari! thanks for watching.
Good to hear that glorious sound back ;-)
Pity you did not know the amount of fuel you had.
There will always be another time you'll get to join me for a test drive. It's all part of the job! Thanks for watching
If this car was in Houston where I am, you must have a/c. To cool and defog from the coastal humidity.
I can't imagine many vintage a/c systems can keep up with the heat in Houston! Thanks for watching!
ah, riding with the sound of that v-12.........nice.
There's certainly something special about that V-12 Sound! Thanks for watching and listening!
Yep, you need a phenolic insulating disc on BOTH sides of the cigarette lighter casing.
The new replacement had the proper insulation.
Now on top of all of your other great skills you are a Ferrari HVAC tech!
I've had to pick up these skills one by one as less and less people in this industry want to do it anymore! Thanks for watching!
Do these drone a fair bit at partial throttle cruising? Or is it just the impression from the audio?
