    If you want colder, you will have to stop the hot engine coolant from going into the heater core by installing a bypass hose.

          You could use a 3/4" solenoid valve and have it be automatic when you push the A/C button. That'd be cool.
          Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

            Why would you need to disconnect the cable from the lever, I just did that but there was no gain, the cable had the lever pushed all the way forward, Doc did your lever move for you.
            An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

              Scratch the size. Was thinking of the rad hoses. But a solenoid valve would still be cool for this. Probably 1/2", though.

                nav, I didn't bother hooking up my heater core. I just plumbed from the bottom of my intake manifold directly to that tube that wraps around the engine block. I cut a extra small piece of hose and pushed it over the heater core nipples without clamps, just to keep them clean. Does it ever get that cold in Florida where you need the heat turned on? I thought that, even in the winter, the sun would keep the inside of your car toasty warm.
