66 AIM Help
Could someone post me a decent, printable copy of Page C60 C1 ? I am putting the compressor ect. back together and am having trouble figuring it out . Especially since half that page on my AIM is blackened out and unreadable !Also I could use some help on where and how the two ground wires go , so some pictures of a completed and installed one would sure help .I have a 66 327/350 if that makes any difference.Thanks,Jim

Re: 66 AIM Help
,Thanks Bill !
This already brings up several questions now that I can see it , and read most of it :
{#1} Item # 19 Washer. It notes ... (L79 only) . I don't have any , or at least I can't find any . Doesn't mean they were not there originally, as I am missiing some other bolts to this assembly as well . I do have 5 shims in front of the mounting bracket, although the Aim shows them both . So.... do all 66 L79s have this washer in place of some shims ? {#2} If so where can I get some ?
{#3} Isn't the bracket (#14) show in reverse ?
Lastly , just for the sake of curiosity , what possible difference can an L79 option make to the alignment of an A/C compressor ?
I know some of you guys know this !

I'm guessing but it may be that the washers were needed for the L-79 application in order to space the compressor out for pulley alignment. The base engine versus L-79 may have used a 1/8" different water pump hub spacing.
The GM #3706737 washer was 13/32" ID, 3/4" OD, and 3/16" thick. It was discontinued without supercession in June, 1971. It was primarily used for shock absorber fastening systems across most of the Chevrolet car and truck lines but not Corvette.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment

Re: 66 AIM Help
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the info on that washer, and a plausable explanation to the reason for them !
I however think I fiqured out that some of the info on C60- C1 that I have , and the one supplied by Bill, were in fact a carry over from the 65 AIM , and it must have changed sometime in 66, as the bracket they picture as #9 , is a completely different set up from the one I have .
To confirm this , I would ask if any one can send me the same page from a 67 AIM.
Thanks again guys,
Jim

Re: 66 AIM Help
Hello again Joe,
I was just going to tell you that after reading some more ,I found that the pulleys were the same . Then I saw your revision. You are in fact correct that a different water pump was used ! So I bet that was the reason ! I knew someone here would know!
I am however still curious as to whether or not they, the spacers, carried over to the different set up on a mid 66 design. Assuming I do have a correct set up ?
A 67 AIM page will help me confirm that !

Re: 66 C-60 AIM Help !
Thanks again Bill.
The 67 AIM did answer one question .. Bracket #14 is reversed from the 66 AIM !
As for the rest , I guess I am on the hunt for some washers. So if anybody knows where to get some , please chime in .
Also some detailed photos of the compressor set up would sure help !
