Jay, No stereo in 1966 - just mono with front and rear speakers. Did you put in the AM/FM or perhaps the Wonderbar? How about the "Reverb" by some chance?

Grandpa had put the cassette player in for Jodi when she was about 14 . He kept the 66 am/fm in the garage attic along with bumpers and some chrome parts off of his parts car he had long ago

I'm also curious about how difficult this project was, my '66 has a vacuum line off the HVAC controls, and it seems to be a major pain to even get to it. The radio is above that so I'm guessing you are now a pro. at this task, please share any tips!

Cool days be very flexible and cold beer do not hurt either the Ac is the easy part just 3 bolts need to drop the Ac diverter box to remove unit but if your lucky you can see and reinstall hose with out removal

Thanks, I was wondering what was holding the AC/heat contol in the dash, if I ever get time and can stand on my head for a while, I'll give it another try.

25 years ago an engine builder told me there's only a couple lifter manufacturers and the ones that are made with snap rings are the better quality. Rhodes, Isky and Lunati have the snap ring, all are considered reputable companies. I've only used Lunati and Isky in the past and haven't had lifter issues.

What are you talking about? This is an 8 year old thread about dash boards???

Now it's only 1 year old. Dashboards to lifters, what more could anyone ask for?
