Title: Help identify this A/C case...
Post by: Scott302 on October 17, 2016, 10:13:40 AM
I need help identifying this A/C lower evaporator case assembly.  Our manufacturer is shipping this as a 69-70 heater box so they are way off!  Trouble is I am not certain what year A/C case it is.  Pretty certain it is a 1969 or 1970 but I do not know what the differences are between those two years and I cannot rule out a 1967-68 either.
Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Scott

Scott, that looks like the early 67 version. Later 67-68 has a "hockey stick" seam at the face side, shorter length of the hockey stick nearest the bottom.

That looks nice enough though, is it all plastic or fiberglass & resin (like original)?

Here is a picture of an early 67 (build date 11/2/66 car)

Yes, early 1967 by the case design. Identified by the straight plane of the two halves.

Prior to the late 1967 version (and into 1973) the two halves had a dog leg jog on the planes.

There are two versions of A/C cases 1967-68 model year.

There were also two versions of the A/C cases 1969-70. The difference being the evaporators, and how the hard lines exit the cases.

OK, that may be easier to understand! +1

Thank you all!  Early 1967 it is.
The case is all plastic.
