Wanted: Delanair or Porschair evaporator unit for 67/8

[jwillhoit]

Looking for a Delanair evaporator unit (the part that fits under the dash) for a 67 or 68 911 in good condition. Anybody pull one out of a car?

Are you looking for one of these units?

I have the aftermarket one as shown.

Hi Tom,

No those are not the unit I need. I need the one shown in the early parts book..

Thanks,

John

The evaporator goes in the smugglers box. The "Air Guide" housing goes under the dash. Which is it?

John, the more I think about it, I'm pretty sure the unit I pulled was a Delanair. All the parts are in storage. I'd have to go look.

The only thing worse than A/C on an old 911 is A/C in a 356. I've seen so-called "factory units" and calling them "a joke" is being kind.

But it is a hell of a thing to have to plug up all the holes most of the butchers put into the cars that had it. Especially the evaporator blower unit in the smugglers box. What a mess. Then there is the "largish" hole behind the front bumper for the auxillary blower intake and then the one for the front condenser which is a really nice cut across the pan.
The last ones are all the line holes in the bulkheads around the engine.

The only 911 I'd with A/C I'd call "working" would be a Griffiths unit or Scotts.
Beyond those two I'd be on the market for a late model car with A/C that really works.

One condensor placed over the engine comparment will net "tepid" air at best. You have to have surface area and that silly little condensor doesn't have it.

If it's for a customer restoration and you do not upgrade then a disclaimer is warranted. If the outside temperature never rises above 75 and the relative humidity is low it might work.

Good luck,

Tom
