67 Dart Convertible Rescue

Got the AC / heater out.

The j bolt has a 5 /16 nut under the vent.

Loosened up easy.

The entire unit is heavier than the entire dash!

Got the dash stripped no major rust

Jot most of the switches functioning.

I took a few apart to clean but now I need a proper grease to reassemble.

From searches...

Vaseline
White lithium
Silicone

Are the favorites

I have an email in to a company to see what that have so we will see.

The wiper switch is a big sucker.

I successfully got it apart and cleaned. Found a small plastic disk that the stem presses on to make the washer pump work is broken so that's going to be a challenge.

Without it the stem will short out the pump switch.

Another 1/2 pound of dirt.

The radio and the gauges aren't looking too good at this point

I am seriously thinking about ditching the AC, making a filler plate to cover the large motor hole for the heater only.


Wiper linkage was being fussy so I sprayed the nuts and will tackle that tomorrow
