Air Duct Selector Switch Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man,
That makes sense because it is "kicked on" when you move the control from heater to AC. Do you have any idea where I can get a new one? Thanks.....I knew you would have an answer for my question!!!

Today I had a chance to run by NAPA...they didn't have it but recommended a dealership. Dealership had a guy at the parts counter that had been there since 1970 and had never been asked for this part. He steered me to a division of Modern Chevrolet in Winston Salem, NC called Classic Muscle. They had the part (repop) and it was reasonably priced. The part is called "Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch Actuating Switch". If you ever have any hard to find parts, you might try them....OldMuscleCars.com
Thanks Andy for the help...it got me started to a solution.

I'm pretty sure that LMC has this switch. You can also try the vendors on the board I think some of them should have it. That switch is not an uncommon item in the A/C section of most catalogs.

That switch is common in A/C work. It's just a on/off switch to cut the compressor on. I have my electric fan hooked to it also. The fan will come on anytime the compressor is on.
