Best I could do as they ordered them in and they were all listed under the same part number at NAPA.

February 6, 20196 yr Author comment_567560 Luckily I am Electro Optronics tech and have the pins/skills to rebuild this. Just disappointed when things like this happen. Make-work projects that should be straightforward.

February 8, 20196 yr comment_567700 Does that mean you have to remove the existing airbox and blower? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=194#findComment-567700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have new heater lines, new vent hose, all new evaporator and condenser, new blower etc etc This will be a modern replacement of the old system. It should provide a nice quiet, leak free version of the old basic functions, but also give me AC! Of course, that means a bunch of new lines and a compressor and drier and yadda yadda yadda, but it will be worth it.

Last time I was solo junkyarding, I saw that the early Pathfinders/D21 trucks used a V-belt pulley compressor. I didn't pick it up, but hopefully giving you a nudge to check that compressor out. R-134A too. Wayne Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=194#findComment-567749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 8, 20196 yr Author comment_567750 Thanks Wayne. I have one in mind... the Sanden 508 style v belt. I was thinking used too... but I can get a new one for about $175 Cdn pesos from fleabay. I have the mount for a Sanden already.

February 12, 20196 yr Author comment_568111 So with temperatures around minus 30 Celsius for the last two weeks, my shop furnace decides to stop working this last weekend. Hot surface igniter died. Luckily, I was able to get a new one locally Monday night and get heat back into the shop. Unfortunately, I probably froze a lot of paint and chemicals that will need to be replaced. In the meantime I was inspired to strip some of the old blue paint off the Stroker... and found... more paint! Edited February 12, 20196 yr by wheee!

Hot surface igniter died. What do you guys burn up there? I'm still on oil. It's a dying technology around here I had to learn how to rebuild my own furnace.
