[DeTomaso] A/C Rebuild - Vents

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Will,

I added a fresh air feed to my fan from the cowl area. I did this when I
first found out that there was none from the factory. At the time I didn't
have AC in the car, I have since added AC too. My fresh air is "on" all the
time. This means that when driving in cool weather it's pretty much
necessary to have a working heater. Even with the fan off a pretty good air
stream enters the car at highway speed. I have not added any air exits but
the leaks seem to be enough to allow for a good air flow through the car
anyway. I've recently considered adding a fresh air shut off as when driving
in warm weather it's a bit counter productive to add fresh air warmer and
more humid than the cabin air.

Tomas

What is the current thought about the A/C assembly regarding the vents.



My car has 2 vents on the dash, plus the defroster vents.  Didn't Bondurant
modify the dash to have a 3rd vent?  I've seen the later dash that has a
piece added to the dash that directs the air downward.  I think that's one
of the L mods.



Does it make sense to add a third vent?  Or do I just have vent envy?  If
the 3rd vent helps, were do I find them?  The vendors?  Which one?



What about adding a fresh air system to the cowl area?  Necessary?  Has
anyone done this?  I only ask because it seems like nearly every car has
one, but the Pantera doesn't - at least mine doesn't.



I don't want to do the Hall mod that puts the vent in the end of the door.
I just want a climate control system that works reasonably well.



Will.
