MI: Vintage Air

[RichardJ]

Old Air Products Bracket 40-150R $99.50
Their web page doesn't have a photo either and the drawing looks the same as vintage air.
The vintage Air kit includes the wrong bracket and the conversion kit for your control head. I wouldn't want their kit. The kit also includes the non-original vents. Original vents are purchased separately. I would pick and choose the pieces I wanted.

1st image is non-AC controller.
2nd image is controller with their resistors added.
3rd image has mods made to factory Ac controller if you choose to use it.

I would want to use one of vintage Air's controllers.

Boy, the information just keeps coming, wonderful I'm sure several people may be interested. I called Vintage Air yesterday, but were closed. The right hand bracket #15249-VCB is listed on their site as fitting the 216/235 engines. I'm not home right now so have no way to tell if the 250/292 engines have the same holes in the head to bolt to. I believe that bracket was priced at $156.00 I believe if you had the original bracket it would probably would have to altered to fit the newer/smaller compressor also. Thanks for the help.

Richard, I know it's been a while for this post. I'm now farther into this project and need some advise. Just an update, truck is painted, vintage air is all installed in the dash, 292 is ready to install, but trying to mock things up before install. I did get the pass side compressor bracket. I've had to shim compressor ahead on bracket. I have PS also. I have seen a few of these newer compressors being run with only one belt, if I could do that I could run everything else off from the other one. If not I need to figure out how to move compressor farther ahead to add a third belt. I do have a 3 grove harmonic balancer that needs to be rebuilt, but also would need a 3 grove water pump pulley, would that work off from nova or car of that period? Donn
