<VV> 66 95 AC timing

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Frank,
 
I checked the TUNE UP CHART on 6-2 and you are RIGHT!  According to  that 
chart, only the 110 could come with A/C, also eliminating A/C for the 140  
with PG.  This combo of 95hp, PG, A/C certainly WAS offered since we owned  a 
1966 95hp with PG and A/C and drove it for many years.  Our little boy  Jim 
named it "Joe Cool" after the Snoopy character in Charlie Brown.   I still 
remember charging up the A/C with R-12 many times and even reset the  temp 
control so the MEASURED temp (digital thermometer) of the air coming out of  
the vent was 38 deg.F.  Try doing that with a "modern" car!!!  It was  so 
cold that it hurt your hand to keep it in front of the vent for more than a  
few seconds.  
Anyway, 14 deg.BTC seems like a good setting to use.

The tune  up chart on page Engine 6-2 of the 1966 shop manual supplement 
has a big X  where my car is equipped. 95 HP, Auto & A/C. Does this mean 
this combo  was not offered? I have the build sheet, and it matches the car.

I have  worked on a 65 95 PG A/C years ago. It is currently for sale on 
craigslist  at an unrealistic price. Also now sports a 110 (maybe, he 
he). That is my  paint job of 20 years ago. Owner requested mods, not my 
idea,  please!      http://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/2328106899.html

So, are there other  originally equipped 1966 95 HP PG A/C cars out there?

I'm going with 14  BTC for now.

Off to the 2011 Virginia Vair Fair!
