On my trip back from Lake Tahoe after running the dash air (only)for 45 minutes my wife asked me to adjust the A/c warmer it was too damn cold!? It was 95 deg. outside not bad for a modified 76 coach yep good old R12 in its pipes and no I don't have a curtain behind the seats after all the dogs need cooling too..

When you say "modified 76" are you talking about the dash air has been modified, or body insulation, or both or what?

The Zay Brand modification only a larger hole in the fire wall. The osa intake is blocked off so it is return air only. The stock 76 isn't worth diddley.

Thanks. I was hoping it was something "simple" like that and not a redesign/rebuild of the blower box and/or under dash ductwork.
