Coolaire Manufacturing of Miami was the company that make the kit and I bought it from them directly and installed it my self.  Ken Freeze is on the list and he has information on the a/c for healeys. Ken.Freese at Aerojet.com  That was the last contact I had for him back in 2001.

I know several members have done this and I’d love to “talk” with someone who’s been through it before with an Austin Healey or someone that can refer me to a web site that would help me anticipate what I’m getting myself into.  I’ve a number of questions from simple, “Should I pull the engine?”, to more difficult, “ Do I need to modify my wiring?”, and every thing in between.  The car has been converted to negative ground already so, I’ve got that behind me.
