box ac system

I just finished replacing the heater valve in my 85 X1/9 with AC Heater box. I'll start off with saying that was a nightmare of a job due to two things. One, the location of the old valve is a royal pain to get to, makes the paddle box look like easy access. Two, a OEM replacement valve is no...

EDIT: Note that I am correcting or adding information to this thread. I will try to highlight those changes. I have a '79 X (1500 5-speed) with factory air conditioning. This thread is not about rebuilding or restoring the system; others like @LarryC have already done a supreme job of...

The heater core in the AC equipped X is different from the non-AC core. My AC heater core is now leaking from the core portion so I'm looking for options. New AC style cores do not seem to be available (at least not that I could find). So I'm looking for other possible replacements. There's a...

I've been away from my X and this forum for a few months but now have decided to tackle replacing a leaky heater control valve and/or heater core. I have some awesome new carpet and upholstery from Henk to install so now I'm motivated to stop the coolant drip on the floorboard! But I am...

Judging by the part listings found at vendor's sites, the factory equipped Air Conditioned X's use a different heater valve than the non-AC models. However I cannot find a listing or even a image for the AC version; only non-AC listings that specifically state not for AC cars. Checking for the...

I have a 1986 X with A/C. The heater control valves are no longer available and mine started leaking. I replaced it with a Everco/Heater Control Valve 74004: http://www.autozone.com/1/products/106005-heater-control-valve-everco-74004.html The size (5/8") fits stock hoses. I made a mounting...

Has anyone added air conditioning to a non-airconditioned X? I am starting on a total rehab of an '81 I just picked up. I have a wiring harness from a Bertone with the newer fuse/relay box and all of the connections for an air conditioned car. I would need all of the other parts but was...

So I got a 1986 Bertone X to replace my 1985 that was rear ended in February. The car I bought was in pretty good shape, but needed an AC for me to use here in Texas where it is often over 100 Degrees. I had the car shipped from Washington State to Texas and unfortunately the shippers damaged...

About the time that I was starting to rebuild the AC system last summer, my AC-Heater blower started to become balky. So that halted my AC project, which I will pick up in my other thread when I finish a re-build of the AC Heater box. It is just as well, since I discovered that the upper...
