Hi again all - this time looking for answers on my AC parts...
I'm getting ready to put the evaporator "box" back on the firewall, and just want to make sure of the correct finish.
Judging manual says "gloss black". I had it painted with a gloss black and just seems awful shiney.
Of course the control arms are glossy also.
So am I OK to put it back in?
Also, what about the other trim items? (the aluminum tubing, and related are all natural unpainted aluminum), but what about the small "elbow" fitting (about 1/2" dia. and about 2" long, the clamp/strap that holds the aluminum tubing to the box, the capacitor at the motor? and the black plastic parts like the bypass hose at the fan motor or the "diagonal" black plastic sleeves around the main aluminum tubing "penetrations"?
Seems like the box could have been assembled and then painted in a factory, or were the major sheet metal parts painted black and then everything else assembled afterwards?
Any books or other resources I could look at?
Besides Nolan Adams, AIM, GM service manuals?
Thanks and Aloha,
Mark Morrison #22477
