I've been waiting on my window trim stainless and some chrome to come back from the polisher/plater, so I haven't done any significant work on my project lately (just piddling mostly), but today a Nomad buddy from up in Tennessee visited me and we talked over lots of stuff on my car and his. He asked me what AC outlets I was using... and after some discussion and checking, I learned something I didn't know previously.
When I bought a nice used pair of factory '57 AC outlets many years ago, I suppose I only looked at the front chrome and if they were 'complete and functional', but didn't pay enough attention. I had always thought the hoses to connect them would be the same size! But today I found out I was wrong... One of them has a 3" OD hose connection on the back side, while the other has a 2.5" OD hose connection! Presumably this was because of the different length of hose necessary to connect them to the stock evaporator! How many of you knew this?
