  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Not one retro air condition services Buicks? I looked at Classic Auto Air and Vintage Ac, not a thing.

    There is a bracket made by a Board member. Check for the threads on this topic.

    Yes - You have to modify another GM brother to work. Depending on year - Look at Tempest/GTO.

    I noticed that Vintage Air does no BOP, and Classic auto Air does P. I have the complete ac off the 72 convertible but the 70 is a no ac car and the firewall is smoothed. I guess I can just buy a case and an aftermaket A6. I was just hoping there was something out there for my 70 that would take less brain power.

    From my searching,the closest setup that is close to our Buick is the Olds Vintage Air setup. The dash control is closest to the Buick one,but it will need slight modifications as well.You will also have to modify a steel A/C bracket to accept the Buick alternator and A/C pump.This is for a 455 or Bbb motor
