According to the GM P&A book, C.A.C. is Car Air Conditioning (All Weather, 4 season, Deluxe) and was the regular side control A/C system you ~normally~ see (RPO C60) and used assembly line installed A/C components and is mixed with the heater.  The lesser type of A/C was the dealer installed "hang on" (called Comfort-Car and has no RPO since it was dealer installed) that had the dial operated box hanging under the dash and didn't route ducts up in the dash or in the kick panels - sort of like http://www.team67.com/1967/gallery/survivors/gold_malibu_dash_inside.jpg.  These were different styles as the dealer often either bought them through different suppliers or farmed them out for installation.  The one in the picture above has the knobs side-by-side and the one in a 67 Chevelle dealer brochure has the knobs arranged one over the other Dale McIntosh TC Gold #92/ACES #1709 67SS/67 Elky Dale’s Place Team 67 Midwest Chevelles -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of John Nasta Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 9:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] 66-67 Kick panels AFAIK, C.A.C. is comfotron air conditioner, which is the type that can be set by a little dial with temperature numbers on it rather than by a slider that just says hot & cold.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dale McIntosh Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 10:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] 66-67 Kick panels   Herb,   My Detroit Iron CD for 67 ususally has parts listings for 64-72 stuff but in this case it doesn't.  What it does show is for 14.630 group, the panel: 66 Malibu (exc. Sta. Wag., 4-Dr. Sed.)  4474360 R.H. (only one shown) 67 Chevelle (exc. C.A.C.) 7680402 R.H. 67 Chevelle (exc. C.A.C.) 7680421 L.H.   (C.A.C. is air conditioning) it doesn't appear as though 66 (assumed 2-dr or conv from above) and 67 are the same panels.
