Newbie with a question

My firstirst a series van Its a 69 a108 panel. Has all the heat shields in a pile inside. Anyone have a picture of them and how they fit together? Theres about three vans worth of covers /dog houses and I cant figure it out. On the side, check edsprojectcars.com hes got a couple old vans right now. No Dodges though.

Thanks. Looking forward to some good times in the old girl. I'd post a picture or two but can't figure out how.

Welcome, I really like that Corvair Wagon on that site , oh-boy I am starting to get that feeling again.

Welcome! I found a couple Chev's in SK recently! Good luck with your A... I'm just learning about them, and don't have an answer for you...

Heat shields?

Yeah, Thats what I was told. Heat shields. They go under the front of the van and direct air to the front of the radiator. Supposedly I will have cooling problems with out them in place. I live in a pretty hot area of the province and would like to install them. I have two or three different types that are all similar but none the exact same. They were in the van when I got it. There were also the parts for a couple of different doghouses. One single latch and a couple double latch. When I asked the guy he said they were heat shields and told me what they were for. If they arn't for that, it might explain why I can't figure them out. HaHa

Belly pan... they do channel air through the radiator. Without them, the air will travel under the rad, providing no cooling! I have one coming... three pieces? I know my Econoline one has three...

I'm so new with A's though...

Ok the single dog house latch was 64-69 double latch was on the 1970 modles they should all fit your van. Belly pan, ill try to describe it to ya, . 3 pieces 2 small 1 big, the 2 small ones bolt to the inside of the frame, flat side toward the ground. The top is shaped to accomidate the swaybar. The big pannel bolts to the small pannels and to the nose of the van. hope this helps.

first pic is the shield that has to be in place for the air to go through the radiator. the second pic is the right side panel that the lower one bolts to. the u shaped hole is for your sway bar if equipped. the third is a little hard to see but the same hole for the sway bar can be seen.

first pic is left side cover. note the large bump out is for the six cylinder carb and intake clearance. the second shows the right side and the bump out for the alternator. now some say the dual latch was in certain years but this engine cover came out of a 1966 six cylinder van. might have been changed at some time. hope these help...........jeff

Thanks everybody. looks like I have at least one full set. I'll get them on in the next day or so. Raining here now so can't get to it right now. but should be nice for the weekend.
