    Thank you 63r2 for the information and the reminder. I should have remembered to look at my parts catalog to see the diagram.  I still would not have known the background that you provided. I saw the inlets you described but never questioned what they were for. Now I know. What did you replace your hoses with? OEM (if available) or aftermarket? The first foot or so of the hoses from the top on each side seems OK, so I thought I might try to get a larger hose to slide over it and run it to the shifter area. I left about a 1/2" of the old hoses at the shifter so I can slip the new hoses on. The hoses are 1-1/2". Hopefully this will save some work and achieve what Studebaker tried to do.

      Looks to be very similar in size, any details on the new evaporator ?

      Are you updating the front a/c fascia panel or keeping the old one ?

      These are available on eBay and Amazon, said to be rated at 18,800 BTU. Should be able to maintain original faceplate, as I will remove the transition piece from the original unit and install it on the new evaporator. I will not be getting back to this for a while as I am concentrating on painting the car before the cold weather hits. I will post an update when I finish it.

    I have a '67 Avanti. Trying to figure out the routing of the ductwork hoses. Most puzzling are the two hoses that run along the inside of the consul (one on each side) and terminate into the space where the automatic shifter is located (probably so mice can have an easy access). I'm not sure where the other ends end up. The hoses have deteriorated and the one I touched broke into segments when I tried to move it. I was assuming these were ac hoses until just now as I was typing this, but maybe there weren't any hoses for the ac. The ac may just blow out the two front vents on the consul. But why all the hoses? Any ideas? Is there any diagram or drawings of how this is laid out? I have a R1 and a R2 but neither have a/c so no help there!
