Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / July 2006Question about the old models,
Hello, did they put "cabin filters" in the 1970s' chrysler vehicles? I am asking since I have a '73 new yorker coupe waiting for light restoration.. Thank you! Y.D., Warren, Michigan no > no no what no your not going to tell or no they did not have cabin filters... you need to clarify here.... as far as I know the cabin filter was not an option in 73 or 74. if its like the hepa filter that my Nissan had an in cabin hepa filter is new otherwise Im not sure what you mean. the air ducts are not easily accessable in those cars so if one is there it was put in before complete dash assemboly. If Im wrong IM sure to hear it.... starscream >> no > > no what no your not going to tell or no they did not have cabin > filters... you need to clarify here.... You're kidding, right? No means no cabin filter. > Hello, did they put "cabin filters" in the 1970s' chrysler vehicles? I > am asking since I have a '73 new yorker coupe waiting for light > restoration.. Thank you! > > Y.D., Warren, Michigan Nope. Thank goodness, I can't imagine trying to maintain one of those things. Its odd, but none of us ever died of hideous lung infections after years of driving those old cars... nor did the cars turn into swarming cesspools of bacteria and fungus. I've pulled a LOT of old air boxes apart in junkyards and never found anything big fungus deposits. In fact, the air that blows out of the AC on my '66 Dodge smells much less funky than on any rental car with a cabin air filter that I've ever driven. IMO, cabin air filters are just another big profit margin gew-gaw that gets tacked on modern cars. > > Hello, did they put "cabin filters" in the 1970s' chrysler vehicles?

I agree. I never heard about fungus problems until Chrysler introduced the LH cars back in the early 1990's. This NG was full of *smelly A/C* posts. Later, they added a *service port* to facilitate injecting the solution to kill the fungus. GM offered a kit that would run after the A/C was turned off in an attempt to dry out the evaporator. -KM |
