Vicfreg 773 Report post Posted December 15, 2023 My car is an original air-conditioning car, and it has an original air-conditioning dash. Not sure where this air-conditioning plastic duct mounting tab gets attached to? There is no hole in the upper glove compartment door structure that indicates this was ever mounted there.

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted December 15, 2023 That section on my 69 didn't have a mount tab, but the far right duct had one that mounts from the bottom and towards the passenger. My tab was broken off, so... This image shows the orientation of the tab on the 69. Don't know if 69 and 70 are the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 773 Report post Posted December 16, 2023 I have the metal tab (has the yellow tape on it in the picture above), but nowhere to mount it..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted December 16, 2023 Have you tried flopping the tube end for end so the tab is on the bottom and points to the edge of the upper edge of the lower dash? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 773 Report post Posted December 17, 2023 The configuration is fixed in that orientation due to the way the plastic piece was manufactured. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vic, that tab is not attached to a hole; it is attached with a “S clip” above the glove box cut out on my 69. I think it is the same “S clip” seen a few places at the sketch Rpm posted.

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted December 17, 2023 Oy! I was totally cornfused by your first pic. I thought the first pic was taken from the seat looking at the dash, didn't realize the upper dash was out. DOH! I'd think this mounting tab would mount on top of the dash edge. Are there not holes in the upper horizontal edge of the dash with mounting holes? I know there are some for electrical wire routing. Unfortunately neither side of my ducts are using the mounting tabs, but have not come loose from the registers they mount to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 773 Report post Posted December 17, 2023 Got it. Thanks for the tip. Yes, the S-Clip will work perfectly! I have an extra couple from old duct mounting pieces. Thanks!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob, no holes; it is attached with a "S clip". 2 RPM and det0326 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 773 Report post Posted December 17, 2023 Actually, there’s no holes there and I use the S clip and it worked fine. . 1 det0326 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted December 18, 2023 Huh, learn sumpin ever day. Too bad that wasn't already posted. :) I read that about the S clip, but didn't quite get it. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 773 Report post Posted December 18, 2023 Same “S” clip that is used on the plastic duct pieces where they mount to the registers 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted December 19, 2023 Good to know, thanks. I picked up my under dash used parts that were already removed from the donor car, so I've been at a bit of a disadvantage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
