My 69 will continue to put out warm air through the vents when the AC control is on vent and cold Any suggestions?

Does it put out any cold air at all? Could be freon issue.

If freon charge is ok, there are vacuum actuators that close fresh air doors in your duct work. One of the actuators could be toast or you could have a broken door or hole in one of the doors. They are made of thin plastic.

Under the right side fender at the end of the wiper trough; kick panel vent passenger's side. If you have a small block, the water shut off vavle could be stuck open.



Hood weatherstripping in good shape?
