if you take a wire wheel on a drill , you will see all the factory spot welds, you have to drill them out and your old pieces should come off no problem

hmm, if you could find southern parts would be better than oem, fitment is the best on the factory stuff,it's different if you use after market quarters, ect then you can try and lign eveything up with your door

Maintenance / a/c and heater vaccum hose routing??

« on: March 01, 2006, 02:39:02 AM »

 ,i'm in the process of installing the harrison a/c unit back in the 69 firebird 400. i got the car in boxes and unfortunately nothing was marked, especially the vaccum hoses from the control unit onwards, i have all the components i'm sure , but need help for which thick green, thin green,orange thick and thin ,as well as the black on with the big "joiner" which is on a black hose, and i think one grommet with 3 holes and a split on the bottom might go through the firewall ??i am really stuck, i rebuilt the car and it's looking pretty nice,any help would be greatly appreciated, ps... hi to john z who gave me the gaps for my doors to the quarter and fenders, the project is almost done, i have all the jams,ect sprayed the original code 51...or is it 53?? the dark blue anyway,it's looking sweet so far as a tribute to you guys for helping me, i'm gonna do a first gen camaro,for now i'de like to get this one done,...lol thanx
