Could some of you post some pictures of the a/c lines (the way they run) in the engine compartment on a 68 RR 383. Thanks all

On mine the line on the back of the compressor ( suction hose & tube assy.) runs above the drivers side valve cover behind the carb & loops to the firewall. That is how it is in the service manualI thought not positive ??Hope to see more pictures. Thanks

The previous pic appears to utilize both '68 and '69 A/C parts.
Here is my '68 Charger which shows the line I believe you are referring to as well as the supports for it etc.

Not sure if the car I posted was a mixture of years parts or not. or maybe a late in the production year car.
And I never noticed the wrong suction line before.

But, Mopes is correct the suction line should come in from along side the drivers side of the carb on a 1968

yeah Bill that customer's car of your's is a mix match of some '68 and '69 parts because I....I mean because he could not find that driver's side metal tube anywhere because it is very rare, so I.....I mean he also had to make a rubber hose with the help of his friend because a '69 rubber hose he got from someone in the upper mid-West that was said to be good and paid big money for was porus and leaked about 4 cans of R12 before he found the problem .

70mopes's car is as correct as I've seen and I used his photos to put my system together last year. Thanks again 70mopes and the others that posted and helped me with parts.

And Bill your customer wants to say a big THANKS for the alternator bracket and other brackets and parts that you got for him those were key pieces to getting that system working, those parts were correct.

That metal tube if you have it is the biggest difference of the '68 vs '69 A/C system.

I'll dig for more photos that were posted when I was trying to get my rr A/C system working.

I think that most if not all of them came from Charlie aka 70mopes

I have the lines that are the same as the pictures that 70 Mopes posted. Now I need the clips that hold the steel lines to the fenderwell & the bracket that holds the line that runs above the valve cover. Thanks for everyones help.

You'll need this for the water pump belt tensioner mounting on the '68

I polished the steel lines and the hose ends with a metal polish (Semi-chrome polish by Happich) then painted them with clear coat. Some of the hose ends should be gold clad and that's what they are done with.
