Default Who has a 73-454 with Air conditioning “I have an air Question”


I am 1 step away from completing the installation of the air conditioning. I am missing the extension pipe that connects the hose from the compressor to the top portion of the condenser. Can any-one tell me on where I can buy the extension pipe with the correct fittings. From the looks of things this pipe will have quite a few bends.

Believe Dr. Rebuild carries the hoses. Take a look.

If you are refering the to solid metal pipe, as far as I know they are not available in the aftermarket reproductions. But a good radiator shop or A/C shop should be able to fab one for you very easily.

I am a few steps behind you but I believe I have the part you are speaking of in a box out in the garage. The previous owner removed the air and cut the rubber hoses off for some reason but I have all of the aluminum parts and will soon have a local shop rebuild the hoses. I could take some digital pictures for you if you want.

I have a friend who was selling his 73 A/C Parts. Send me an e-mail if you would like me to check with him if he has the tube. Craig

I would be interested in the condensor if it is in good shape. I believe that is all I am missing.

Mines off the car, but if you need me to check out some dimensions on the tubing let me know, I took it all off as neatly as possible and boxed everything up so I have all the parts, not selling but I can use them for a reference for you. How many 73 LS-4's are on here anyway?

You can probably get one from Gruhala Enterprises. Call Gary at 636-586-3909. He's a great guy, and can likely help you.
