[Healeys] Air Conditioning Installation - BJ8

[Larry Wendland]

Price,   Also I put a Parish Plastics hard top on my car that allows the ragtop to stay in the car in the folded position. The top helped with the heat too. Parish is owned by Smoothline now. I have attached 3 pics of my car with my Parish hardtop installed.  http://www.smoothline.com/hardtops

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.
