Old Air Products CAP-1065M-289 Hurricane Air Conditioning for 1965-1966 Mustangs - Part 1

In part 5 of this long over-due episode, I begin the installation of a CAP-1065M-289 complete A/C and Heat system from Old Air Products for 1964 to 1966 Mustangs. This is a 2-part series, despite heavy editing and timelapsing - the install is still quite lengthy....but oh so worth it.

Stay tuned for part 2!

Thank you so much. I'm considering this unit for my '61 Falcon. And now I have a much better idea of how I can get it to fit. Awesome. Very detailed.

Thanks for this video dude. Finally getting ready to purchase this or the classic auto hvac. I appreciate you

[vtruckin]

Awesome walkthrough! It helped me with my 70 C10 install. Great product also

[Apeman_king_of_apes]

gonna hold onto this for when I get ahold of one of these cars myself

[TomsBackyardWorkshop]

Im rethinking installing a hurricane kit in my 67 after watching this.

I’m going to install this into my 63 falcon which is similar to the 64 mustang. Did you lose part of the glove boxor did it clear?

[tstan]

Does the passenger side fresh air vent really need to be capped? It looked as though there was enough room to keep it with the heater/evap box in place. Thanks!

[marycorona]

Hi have you done a video yet for under the hood connection for AC/ heater

[Tripped]

Question. The does center vertical slide (temp) do anything. I can’t see how it is connected to anything

[mirsul]

some of your narrative is ahead of the actual video, otherwise very informative. I like this unit as it saves quite a bit of money not having to rebuild the fresh air vents and the heater plenum.

[Mike-shdg]

Did you loose foot room on the passenger side? It looks like the new heat/ac box hangs down more than the factory set up.

Great video, very helpful. I was originally going to go with Classic Auto Air but their leadtime is 12 weeks now, so I'm considering Old Air. Looks very similar. Have you done the underhood portion yet? I'm worried about the compressor mounting and my power steering. Any thoughts? Thanks!

[fernandosiordia]

Can I use this system if my car has power steering.

[kylechamblin]

Have you recorded part 2? I cannot figure out where to install the electronic control valve and this video is the only helpful/informative thing I can find on the Old Air system. Their instructions leave MUCH to be desired, and their CS team isn’t very helpful with any instructions. Seems like every way I try to route the hoses interferes with many other items.

Installing my system now. Glad I got to watch you do yours. How much refrigerant did you put in during the charge?
