New Car with a few issues

[raptorf229]

I have a 1972 charger with a few issues. First is my climate I'm missing the cable for temperature control and my a/c compressor is seized (from what a a/c repair shop says). in replacing the compressor should I update with newer equipment like a sanden or just replace the old one. Also their is a control valve under the hood connecting the heate hoses but once agian no cable.what is this for and where can i get these two cables missing?

Another issue is my hideaway headlight assembly. The motors that open and close the light doors are missing and it doesn't look pretty where I think there was a rod connecting the two doors together. Does anyone make replacement parts for them?

My last issue is The car smells like gas. i'm wondering if it may be the tank or something else. Any suggestions on other things that may be leaking.

welcome to the site, nice Charger! As far as gas smell, make sure your gaskets on fuel tank and fill cap are good, carb is not overflowing, no leaks in fuel line anywhere.

Chrysler used the same basic headlight door motor from 1970 until about 1980.   Not impossible to find in a junkyard.

Don't tell the Charger that. She's touchy about her weight.

I just pulled a AC compersor from the junk yard, same for my headlight motor. The gas smell you need to fix NOW! before it burns to the ground. The forth issue is that stripe around the wrong end of your car. LOL, j/k.  It does look like a nice strait car, whats under the hood? My 72 cam with a 318, but I am building a 440 at this time.

OK I'll fix the smell. The stripe is on the back too. Thats the way it came two stripes one in front and one in the back. I'll check a junk yard for the other stuff.
