 Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 4:38 am Post subject: Things to do while the dash is out |
 |
|
All, 1979 924na, I had a shop replacing the evaporator and heater that went bust. The entire dash is out and everything is apart. While I wait for a Haynes Manual to arrive so that I can begin to put things back together again I would like to solicit suggestions on other things to do or check while everything is apart. I am already going through all of the electrical connections. Also I anyone has an PIX or drawings of the heat/ac assembly that would aid in fitting all the bits together I would be grateful. They left me with a box of parts, no labels etc. Just a mess.
I am redoing the dash and will post pix of that project soon.

I updated the whole heater in the 79 I had with the newer system. It makes a BIG difference. The blower (actually a blower--not a fan) moves much more air. Also, the late system blows heat out of the dash vents.
It is not a straight bolt in though.

Awesome Harm.. You know checking all the grounding lugs
under the dash is a to do. its in the center on the front bulk head.
Has a bunch of brown wires to it. These should be cleaned and covered
in dielectric grease or vaseline. Keeps them corrosion free.

Update all the instruments lights to LEDs.
I know, you can do this whilst the dash is in, but it's so much easier if it's out. You just have to pay attention in each socket to which side is ground.

Put in a new ignition switch.
Fab up a battery-direct ground harness and tie it in with as many under-dash ground points as you can find - especially the light switch.
Re-glue the defrost ductwork. It's just cardboard and pulls away from the inside of the dash, creating air leaks. May as well install a dash cover while you're at it.
I'm sure there's lots more, but these come to mind.
