[DeTomaso] Air conditioning evaporator

[The Goyaniuks]

 Hello,
I have the same aftermarket evaporator.  I purchased it from Wilkinson's.
There was no hole in the evaporator core for the thermocouple line (the long wire that comes off your cooling regulator.).
The origianal a/c/heater box has a small hole where the thermo-line enters.  It is on the right side (facing the box from the front) of the box.  I used that existing hole in the evaporator/heater box case to locate where the hole should be.   To create the hole, I twisted in a long drill bit (about the same diameter as the thermocouple wire).  I put the thermo-wire in into its place.

   I purchased and installed and aftermarket ac evaporator that has more
  cooling tubes and less heater tubes in it.
  It has been in the car a couple years without being used while I
  restored the car.
  Now I am trying to install the ac thermostat switch with the tube that
  goes into the evaporator.
  I cannot find a hole in the side of the evaporator where the tube goes
  in.
  Has anyone else come up with this issue or do you have any idea where
  the hole is.
  I have camera that goes into the hole but I still do not see anything.
  I am thinking of running the tube in the ac box and around to the front
  of the evaporator to just use air being blow out to operate.
  Anyone have input?
  Rich
