71 Challenger A/C problem
« on: November 16, 2005 - 06:23:57 PM »
Trying to put my 71 Challenger back together again, but have hit a snag with the A/C Condenser.  The part (ordered from YearOne) is supposed to be for a 70-71, but the connections are not in the correct places.  All other condensers I've seen pics of also have the same problem.  Does anybody have a picture of a 72-74 A/C condenser for comparison?  There seems to be a part number difference between the years. 

For reference.. both of my lines connect to the condenser on the upper driver's side, in opposite directions.

Welcome to cc.com.  Great place here for all!!  OK I'm trying to follow your problem but am alittle lost.  Do you have any pics that can shed some light on this situation??  I have a 70 condenser in the garage somewhere if needed for reference.  Hope you enjoy the site.
