Reproduction air conditioning evaporator for early production Mercury Cougars and Ford Mustangs. This early 1969 version has inlet and outlet tubes that run horizontally, in the later 1969-70 version, these tubes run diagonally off of the core. Please note the type of connection that you have. This item uses "O" - Ring style fittings. 1967-68 and some very early 1969 cars were using compression fittings.
*Note - We have had numerous customers complain that these don't fit
exactly like the originals.
As far as evaporators go, we highly suggest going with a good used evaporator over these new versions. What happens is this: These companies use more coils (35% more passes) which equals out to thinner metal, which also equals out to performance that's sub-par to a good used original evaporator.
Check out our video below on how to replace a heater core and A/C evaporator! We used a '69 Cougar, but many of the same concepts apply to other years.
