I6 & Ac
I've been seeing alot on the board about AC model trucks and was wondering do any of you folks with the 6's have AC on your truck?
Was it even an option for the sixes? I was thinking about it for mine (Yankees in the south need it), but was wondering if the brackets and all even existed for it, and how much it zapped the six's power?

Yes they had air as an option on the sixes. Rare as "chicken lips" Now as far as brackets I would check on-line with Vintage Air for a complete after market a/c system.

As mentioned, it was an option and I have seen people selling the brackets on the board. I have found a ton of A/C brackets for 250's in early to mid 70's Nova's but their block is different than the one in my 70 truck. To use the Nova brackets your block need to have a (for the lack of a better term) tab embossed in the block next to the timing chain cover that mounts one of the support brackets. If your block has this you can use the Nova brackets which are much easier to find than the truck bracket. I have not checked with the aftermarket A/C companies to see if there system can be used on a 6. All the ad's show V8 applications but it would seem like they would have to have a I6 set-up.
