I believe that DPD stood for "Dealer Products Division".

Anthing that requires hacking up the car like either of these "accessory kits" did, was just plain 1970's era quality, poor design, and installer laziness. I will cut them some slack that compressors were much larger then but still . . . I'm not saying I don't want AC. I really would like it. I just find the damage done to install it dosen't suit me. I still have holes in my chassis to fill becuase of the hacking done to it for AC. |

I still have holes in my chassis to fill becuase of the hacking done to it for AC. You don't live in Texas where not having AC limits the time you can drive the car. Here having AC in your car is way more important than having a working heater. Driving Elwood (the factory 6) in mid summer when it is 105 degrees is an exercise in water weight loss. It is very draining, and a long tour is out of the question. So he stays home during the summer. The DPD unit worked great in Frody (Betty's 914), and made it really nice to drive in the summer. I am going to rework the compressor mount to put it on top of the motor so I don't have to hack the new engine shelf on the right side. Other than that, it is going back in as it was. Igor (the 4.0) is getting an evaporator that will replace the fresh air blower, modeled on the one Larry Hubby built, and an electric compressor. All the parts will be modern, more efficient designs. This should give me a really nice AC unit, and I can drive Igor year round. Clay |
