Back in the late 70's I installed an A/C unit in my '67 BJ8 and what a life
saver. I lived in Miami at the time the heat from the Healey in the summer time
was furnace. Coolaire Manufacturing of Miami was the company that make the kit
and I bought it from them directly and installed it my self. Ken Freeze is on
the list and he has information on the a/c for healeys. Ken.Freese at
Aerojet.com That was the last contact I had for him back in 2001.

Subject: [Healeys] Air Conditioning Installation - BJ8
Now that I live in Florida, I am considering installing AC in my BJ8. ?To no
one?s surprise, the heat/humidity is brutal in the summer and makes driving in
traffic almost unbearable! ?(OK, I?m soft)
I?d like to do it myself and Vintage Air seems to have a nice system that
appears to be fairly easy to install. ?I know several members have done this
and I?d love to ?talk? with someone who?s been through it before with an Austin
Healey or someone that can refer me to a web site that would help me anticipate
what I?m getting myself into. ?I?ve a number of questions from simple, ?Should
I pull the engine??, to more difficult, ? Do I need to modify my wiring??, and
every thing in between. ?The car has been converted to negative ground already
so, I?ve got that behind me.
Thank you for your insights.
