    Wanted: L-body non-AC vent block off

    I need an air vent block off for a non-AC L-body. I need the one in the dash nearest the passenger door. It will look similar to the radio bezel block off shown in the picture. I want one in as close to perfect condition as possible.

    Kevin, the non-ac cars those vent actually work and bring air in thru the cowl. I've never seen a block off plate for either outer dash vents driver or passenger side. could get crafty and make one though.

    The photo looks to be that of the radio surround and so able to get a block off separately - they are integrated into the radio surround bezel

    My car has two vents in the console area between the storage bin and the radio as shown in the picture below. That is where the cowl air blows into my car. I had a lever I could close it off with before I removed the heater and all that stuff.

    Yes, this photo is of a factory radio surround bezel with the AC vents blocked off.

    Yes, they did make a similar looking block off for the vents nearest the doors on each end of the dash. I wish I'd have grabbed them when I saw them in the junkyard years ago. I do not need one for the driver's side because I have a boost gauge in it.

    I've never seen the block off plates near the doors on each side of the dash. Any L body I've ever seen always had the vents - maybe because I've never seen AC in an L body before (maybe cause I'm in canada?)

    Re: Wanted: L-body non-AC vent block off

    Both of my SC's have vents in the dash closest to the doors.
    The Non A/C car (86) has a "slider" that the vent can be "turned off"
    The A/C car (85) has regular vents that look like the Non A/C car but without the "slider"

    Is that top gauge a tach/shift light?
    Also what paint did you use to match the pillar pod?

    I saw an Omni in the junkyard years ago that had the vent hole block offs in the dash closest to the doors. I've never seen them in a Shelby Charger.

    The top gauge is a digital tach/shift light. I used the warm grey SEM vinyl dye.
