Subject: Help with 57 dashboard/ a/c unit
Help!!
I thought I was pretty good mechanically, and have restored many cars, but
never a 57.
How do I remove the A/C unit from the firewall inside the engine
compartment? There is one sentence in the manual that means nothing to
me, "From inside the passenger compartment, remove the hydraulic actuator
piston, bracket and operating linkage. I think I know what that (they)
are, but can't see how they are attached unless it's via crazy glue at the
factory.
I thought it would be easier to see if I removed the heater control bezel
and radio+radio and ash tray bezel, but I can't seem to locate the hidden
spot welds that seem to have that affixed to the dash.
I really like the car and am attempting a 'body-off' resto, so there's no
engine in my way on the firewall side, and no front seat in my way in the
body of the car, so it "couldn't" be any easier, but I'm stumped.
I'd like to do this without chain saws and torches, since I plan to drive
the car someday, but the frustration level is pretty high. Any help would
be appreciated (or maybe a pint of Jack Daniels).
Thanks,
John

Subject: jet hot
I just got a powder coat finish from Forrest Products in Oregon. It's a
coating that's supposed to be good to 1200 degrees. It's available in a
couple of grays, flat black, and forest green(?). They're on the web.
It's the only supplier of high-temp powder coatings I've found. It's a
bit pricey, but they will sell 5 lbs, which will last a long time.
I put the powder on a set of manifolds going on my '68 Fury. It went on
well, and looks good. Can't say anything yet about performance and it
will be a while before I get it running on the car.
Thomas

Subject: Re: Help with 57 dashboard/ a/c unit
I am new to restoring 300'S, but am in the process of a frame off
restoration of a 58 for my son -in-law. I believe the 58 A/C/heater unit
in
simular to the 57. I also had a hard time removing the unit, and the
service
manual is not much help. First remove all attaching hardware from the A/C
heater unit from the front side of the firewall. Remove the pressure and
return lines from the hydraulic actuator. Below the actuator on the inside
of the firewall there should be a plate that is attached to the firewall
by
4 ( I think) fasteners. After removing the fasteners it will be necessary
to
slowly pry the plate from the firewall as it is mounted with the factory
caulking. Now remove the A/C/heater unit from the firewall side by rolling
the top side forward and lifting up and out. I did not remove the actuator
before removing the unit, but that may make removal easier.

Subject: 58 300 carb question
I am restoring a 58 300 convertible. When disassembling the engine there
were phenolic spacers between the carbs and the intake manifold. From
pictures I have seen of other 58's, I don't see the spacers. Are the
supposed to be there? Were they added by a service bulletin, or should
they be left off.

Subject: Re: 58 300 carb question
Although I can't speak from experience on the 58 engine, my 59 E with 413
does have spacers like you describe. The 59 manifold is a very low rise
design, and the spacers may have helped driveability as well as
performance.
300ly,
Don
