    It was avl on Australian & South African mk3-5 not sure the mk1-2 but you may be able to get info from these countries on conversions.

    thanks for that buddy and will certainly look into that,it is intended for a mk2 but will certainly give me an idea of how they were fitted up and equipment used :thumbsup:

    If you've got a 1200 or 1300 you may have to turn the A/c off to do a hill start.... The difficult bit would be trying to keep the inside looking stock. The standard heater box wouldn't be suitable for modification so you'd end up with a monstrosity slung under the front parcel shelf like the early Mustangs had, they looked accessory shop too. The under bonnet stuff would be fairly simple.

    cheers buddy,if i did ever do it it wouldnt be going in anything under a 1600 or at least that would be the plan anyway , was just a thought really to see if it might be possible maybe to rig up using scavenged parts from modern vehichles and keep on the cheap side.  i have seen those units on the early mustangs and must admit they are a little accessory shop looking and although not 100% fussed about having the interior looking stock would like it to be to a degree so if that was my only option might have to find a way of making it blend in a little better .

    hi all , i have been thinking about the possibility of fitting air con into one of the cortinas for some time , has anyone already done this before maybe using bits from modern cars or are there any retro fit air con kits available out there that anyone knows of ?? look forward to hearing your replies and ideas guys.....:thumbsup:

    sorry, no info in there either!

    Hi Hans,i have only just seen your post but a big thankyou for taking the time to have a look for me.  i must admit its driving me a little nuts that i just cant find any definitive info anywhere that says exactly what it means in reference to the engine other than tall deck :wacko:...............thanks again Hans and wishing you a merry xmas from me and my lot to you and yours :cheers:

    must admit i never really thought of them being used in anything other than cars to be honest so makes sense i spose if they may have had different code numbers if being used in machinery instead of cars i just cant find a definite explanation of what the code stands for ,there were two1600 crossflows that came up recently on ebay and apparently both from cortina mk2s with the same identical numbers ending in DA as i have on my engine block but unfortunately neither of the adds shed any light with regards to what the numbers mean :headscratch:

    cheers for that buddy,  have just had a good read through of the article and learned a few things i didnt know before on engine codes which is going to be very useful  :smile: ,unfortunately i still couldnt find any reference relating to what the DA letters following the engine codes were but did find some information after a few hours of googling which apparently DA means "tall deck" so im just as confused now if not more so as i was before :headscratch::headscratch::headscratch::headscratch:

    hi all,yet again going through some of my stuff today and noticed an unusual code on the block of one of my spare engines,i was told when i got the engine it was a 1600e engine that needs a rebuild although im not sure if it is or it isnt ?? anyway the engine code reads 681f 6015 DA ,what does DA mean??  can anyone tell me please ?? i though they always ended AA =1300 or BA=1600 never seen seen DA before :headscratch:
