1972 Chevy Cheyenne PU with Fact. Air - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We have completly restored the AC with new wiring harness and other components to make operational. There is a 2 wire plug behind the glove box to connect to the AC cutout switch, and we have that ordered. What I would like to find is a module that lets you set the desired temperature and it will act as a thermostat for the AC. What would be nice is something to set and maintain the desired temp, and still have the AC cutout switch so that the compressor doesn't run all of the time that the blower switch is on. Anyone with info on something like this would be helpful, if not maybe we can get a MFR. interested in making such a simple device.

I used to have a '79 Cadillac Seville that had auto temp control... you might want to check the wrecking yards...the unit might be adapable for your application...... Jim

Vintage Air makes a replacement for the POA valve that is adjustable and allows your compressor to cycle on and off. I have had one for 2-3 years and works good.
