Anyone have a supercede for 9774110 and 9774113. Thanks

Didn't find any Parts History for them. In case you weren't aware, looks like they were used in all '64-'67 Chevelles, F85s, & Tempests and probably Specials too with A/C. Don't know what they look like or made from, but maybe good used ones are around. Or maybe the Chevelle folks have reproduced them?

Might be included in the A/C Box seal kit from Ecklers?

Thanks John. Here is another example of why you need to take a zillion pictures before and during disassembly, especially noting that it has now been 6 years ago. I referred to the parts book as well and just couldn`t figure out the 2 halves of this seal. The one half I had and the other recently located which solved the problem. The seals are rough but very usable.
It has been about 1 1/2 years ago when I was dropping off which turned out to be my last 35mm roll of film and I asked the attendant what are all of these people doing sitting on the stools and staring mindlessly into screens? Oh he said "they are selecting the pictures from the card of their digital camera they want to save." I said I know they can be downloaded but I don`t understand the huge amount of time they are wasting. I selected the pictures I wanted to save WHEN I TOOK THE FREAKING PICTURE! Yes Sir said the young attendant "and oh yes, we will not be offering 35mm developing coming next month."
So I guess I will have to join this time consuming ritual. Ever notice how many steps backward computers have taken us? All I had to do before is mark the envelope with the content of the picture and have it at hand, simply and easily. Now you have to find a computor and search and search saying these words "Now where in the blank did I file the pictures of the A/C case and the seals???" Ah, found it. 1hr is all it took. Yippee

W.E., count me as a proponent of digital. Advantage I see, you can snap a lot more pix, spend less time "composing" each shot. And then view on the screen, enlarge to see details. And easy to share digital files. If I want to share an old photo, I have to scan it first, kinda a pain.

If I understand, you've now got it figured out. I didn't look in the Pontiac Parts Book, but found this (using my computer!). Don't know if it is anything you need, but just in case, here is the link.

I am sure I will have to get caught up to the GADGETS John. Even in your post you argue my point much better than I could. LOTS of wasted time scanning, viewing, and never having the picture at hand to work from. I ALREADY DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS WHEN I TOOK THE PICTURE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Why the heck have to do it again and again?
It usually cost 2.68 for the 12 exposures and 4.00 for 24. Still had to pay for the film in the beginning but not waste hours looking at a screen. Not only do you have to install the digital picture but then your not happy until you mess with it some more and have to find it again and again rather than walk out to the shop with a real exposure in hand.
I am not going to argue the wasted time John and thank you for the help. The real point here is to take plenty of pics and keep a notebook you can refer to. Hopefully it won`t take 6 years to do a resto but even in 6 month`s things are forgotten.

I do agree, organization and taking plenty of reference pix is key.

Wasn't intending to argue. Just saying I'm an old guy who grew up with film but much prefer digital today.

You misunderstood about the scanning. I'm talking about having to scan film prints before I can share them. Can't email a film print, have to scan it first. The wasted time for me is when I'm dealing with my old film prints.

Digital picture files I can easily email or post in threads here as example. Much easier than dealing with film prints.

There have been times when guys here ask about a certain detail and I know I have a film print of that detail. But I'll leave the response to somebody else because it is too much trouble to drag out my box of prints, shuffle thru to find the detail needed, then scan the pic, then put it all away.

If I want to look at a hard copy of a digital pic, like if I'm working in the garage and need it for reference, I just print it out from the computer. Throw the print away when I'm done.

Downloading digital files to my computer from my phone or digital camera is a snap for me. A lot easier and faster than back in the day when I would take my pix in to get developed, come back to pick them up, then once home, have to organize them into shoe boxes or whatever. Which I would put off until I had a disorganized mess of a pile. Putting my digital pix in organized folders on my computer makes finding what I want much quicker too.

There is no way those people were staring at screens deciding what to SAVE. They already had the digital file saved. They were deciding what to PRINT. Usually that means they were doing a special project, for example my wife used to pick out a picture that she wanted to include in Christmas cards she was sending out. So she would select her digital pic and then order x no. of print copies. My wife typically would do that from home on the store website and upload what she wanted to have printed without leaving the house but you could also enter your order at the store. I've taken jpegs to Staples to have them make enlargements mounted on poster board. But that is the exception, most of my jpegs never need to be printed.

I do like thumbing thru those resto picture books at the show, but you can create those prints from your digital files, film gains you nothing there.

To each his own.
