Richard is talking about an A/C compresor problem not a problem with air flow from the vents. The motors on the evaporator case do have problems and are made from plastic gears, but his problem is the compresor is not turning on. If the coil on the compresor has power and ground and it is not...
The "copper-colored button" in the rear of the compresor is a thermal limiter. It is used to senses the temperature of the compresor housing and open the coil if the temp. goes to high. This is used in a lot of Fords A/C compresors now and is not that unusual to find. I haven't seen one go bad...
This is what I'm thinking too. May want to space the plate even further away and if you track the car make sure you remove the plate to let the max amount of heat to be removed. It seems like something that would happen with stock exhaust cars only. I guess I don't see alot of those :wink
This is why a good battery tender is so important in these cars. Most all of the gauge problem cars you will find low batt voltage codes in the instrument control module as well as other modules.
I don't know if I would trust them on the car. I have only used thses on everything. They do a great job and very soft.

Looks like it was an awesome event Brian. Wish I could have made it out. Nice to see that pile of toys for the kids. The car in the first pic with the hoosiers looks like Lewis'. He's a good guy. Car is lookin' CLEAN Lew :thumbsup
You are waiting on Vintage air then, not Ford. Vintage made the evaporator case, motors and electronics. Haven't had to wait long for Vintage parts before so might not be to bad.
