Hope I'm describing what I think that I want. The two outlet box that was on the last generation of the GMC A/C system.

Tom,
I have never seen what you mean in a GMC, but if you mean an in-floor duplex receptacle box,
Try a Raco 6500NI-5. They aren't cheap.

I hope that is what you want.

Matt

I think what you are looking for is the double outlet that is located just above the floor on the 75 and 76 coaches?

Getting return air into the blower box is a little less than half the battle. By the time the cold air gets around all the restrictions to get to the dash vents, it is just a trickle.

You need to add some more direct paths from the evaporator to the passenger compartment like Dave Markus did. http://www.bdub.net/gmc-faq.html search the page for "markus".

Pictures of what he is talking about are here:

If a large hole is cut in the firewall in the 75 or 76 coach and the outside air is blocked off a lot of air comes out of those 2 vents. In my case it feels like 3 times as much . Very often my wife tells me I'm freezing her out. At any rate it makes a big difference.
