That's gross!

you call that a fingernail?

Heads back on, new valves and chains. let's see what happens next.

I finished the installation of the Retrosound Hermosa today.So far it looks and sounds good. The installation was a major pain due to it's universal design. They supply L shaped brackets which enable you to move it front/back, up/down and side to side. I probably had it in and out 15 times tweaking adjustments. It's tough to find a happy medium where face looks good front to back and having the shafts sticking forward enough to get the knobs on without them interfering with the factory bezel. I chose the knobs that look closest to original (except the back knobs looks like '71-3 but that's the closest they had). I had to relieve the 3 tabs on the back knobs a little so they wouldn't contact the chrome trim on the factory bezel. The Bluetooth works pretty well, an occasional crackle through the speakers, not sure if it's the radio or my phone. I ran an audio plug under and up into my console so I can plug in my phone or an mp3 player All and all I'm happy now that it's in, if I had to do it over again I would probably have my original radio sent out to have updated guts installed, it's a little more money, but alot less hassle with installation. I also installed a LED 1895 bulb in the climate control while I had everything apart, much brighter.

Randy, Here are pics of my 1969 non-A/C heater box. Hope this helps. G

The '69 & '70 heater boxes are virtually identical, and yes, both of them have one design for heat only, and another design that is heat & AC. Those two styles are completely different from each other. Also, yes, the position of the resistor pack that the heater box connector plugs into changes when the box is AC vice non-AC? I have an example of each, and feel free to let me know if you would like a picture of anything.

Two thumbs down on FB, not on it and never will be. I'm on pro-touring as much as I'm on here and they started self hosting pics when the photobucket fiasco went down. Don't know the specifics but might be something to look into.
