A/C water

Re: A/C water
Is the A/C blowing cold air?
Have you checked you carpets and underpad for moisture?
There is a rubber elbow that comes out of the firewall slightly to the right side of center just above the engine bell housing it is connected to a drain spigot at the bottom of the A/C Heat plenum, it may be rotten pulled off the connection or completely missing. This rubber fitting is not being reproduced to my knowledge mine was missing and I found a hose at a well stocked parts store that would work.

Re: A/C water
Yes the a/c is very cold and carpet and padding dry..I then removed the air filter housing and then was able to see rubber fitting..Turned a/c on and water was dripping out like it should..Guess water was drying up on ground before I could see it..I really like learning about my Tbird and especially when things are working correctly..Thanks Jim for your help..tbird wrote:Is the A/C blowing cold air?

FYI I did look in the shop manual and the Osborn body and even electrical manuals and didn't see fitting.
