Update: I have been driving the car when I can this fall and even on Christmas day on a short run up to Anacortes. One thing I noted was that the temp gauge on the freeway at 75 or so stayed at 150°; way too cold! I bought a Bluetooth ALDL plug and will see if the PCM gauge is reading that value also. I also ordered a laser temp gauge to check that way.

Another cold weather issue was the floor vent for the heater did not work. Vintage Air has little stepper motors that move the vanes. I have not really been all that impressed with the Vintage Air unit, there are some things I think they too hotroddish for my taste. If it was me, I would have just fabricated an outer shell for the outside of the firewall and then put the evaporator in that (like stock) and kept the rest of the heater, fan, internal ducting and plenum stock. A simple limit switch when you slide all the way over to cold to tell the AC to turn on. Granted, you would not have dash vents, but cold air would come out of the floor just the same.

The 3.42 gears are growling - not sure if the guy I paid did a bad job or the gears are worn (they were a used GM set. I will install Motive 3.08's in a few weeks when the TA goes into drydock. Will alos pull radio our and send back so they can see why AM is not coming in...
