Thanks, Gerd. The 56 AC repro I show in process in the photos above when starting the thread is comlete and functional now. Have the old original unit on a shelf with a couple of wounded compressors. Started repro'ing a 54 unit years ago when I owned the Pacific. The evaporator unit and interior stuff was complete but I didn't find a compressor I liked at the time so it never was finished or operational. The car is owned by a friend now and still the way it was when I let the car go. Currently working on AC for the 47 but haven't been that active on the car or project lately.

There is a slight error in the knob functions on the 53-4 AC Control description from the website. You can barely see the mention in the screen capture photo above since it is partially covered but visiting the page you can see the full paragraph. I tried to send an email to the webmaster and mention it. Unfortunately my feeble eyes don't work with his security characters so no cigar there. Basically the error is the knobs on the operator control have nothing to do with air scoops. Those are entirely controlled by the two knobs on the package shelf.
