About how much is that exactly? It doesnt have to be prfect, as long as its nice and works. I am going to be buying a setup, just depends on how much it cost and how much I like it.

I picked up the Vintage Air sure fit kit from Summit. It cost me around $1350 I think. It includes everything to put it in except the freon. You have to have it charged unless you can do it yourself. It has replacement controls and uses no cables or vacuum lines. The evaporator/heater assembly fits entirely inside so you don't have the big ugly stock evaporator in the engine compartment. The compressor is much smaller also. It comes with all the brackets, duct work, hose, hard lines and components. I haven't installed it yet.

Im back finally. I've installed a brand new holley 600(vacuum secondaries) and have just purchased some new (to me) door panels. So im going in a new direction as of late. I'm looking at a new set of 17 x 8" Torq Thrust rims. I plan to buy them this week. But here's my problem..

I don't know what size tire will clear. How does a 255/55 or a 245/55 sound? What would you recommend?

Thanks for any input

I think everyone knows something about their tires, but maybe nobody is running that size and combo? I'm still stuck old school with 15" on mine.
