Thanks a bunch Matt, I bolted them to the seats backwards and put the outside bolts in. I could tell something was wrong.

I am trying to change over to buckets from bench. I bought bucket seats and upholstery and mounting brackets, etc. My problem is I am not sure which way the bracket goes. Does the raised end go to the front or the rear? Anyone having suggestions, please jump in. Also I asked last year for dimensions to mount the console and I was directed to a URL that showed where to cut the hole for the cable and everything. I have lost the information. If someone can give me the dimensions I'd appreciate it. I am finally ready to complete the project. thanks

Here's a way to determine sequence for the headliner rods: Stand all five rods on the floor holding them together to check length. *The very shortest and smallest diameter rod is rod #3 and goes in the center tube. *The next shortest rod is rod #2 and goes in the #2 tube (forward of the center tube toward the windshield) *The #1 rod is only about 1" longer than #2 rod. It has a more shallow bend on the ends and goes in the front tube closest to the windshield. *Next is #4 rod and it goes in the tube immeiately behind the center tube toward the back glass. *finally, the longest rod (#5) goes closest to the back glass. You may have to cut the tube to give yourself some sliding room for adjustment. You probably need about 3/4 of an inch on each side. This can be accomplished after you have the headliner hanging by reaching up behind the headliner and slitting the tube as needed. Start at the rear inserting the rods and work your way to the front. Please excuse the long post and I hope it's not too confusing. Roland

I have put in several headliners and I would make a couple of recommendations to you. First, somehow mark the bows so they don't get out of sequence, then sand the rust off each rod and wax the metal LIGHTLY (you don't want a glob melting through in the hot sun). When you get the rods inserted into the sleeves and the rods inserted into the roof brackets, you will want to be able to slide the headliner slightly side to side to remove wrinkles and puckers. The 'slick' rods make this a lot easier. my $ .02

I believe there should be three relays associated with the air conditioning system. I think there is a blower motor relay mounted on the evaporator core housing and two mounted on the fire wall which are listed as a blocking relay and an anti-dieseling relay. My '71 has this set-up. It is an air conditioned car and everything is working. You probably have more diagrams than I do, but if it will help I'll scan and email what I have. Roland Ryan
