new A/C Evaporator is... not quite right.

[Pete M]

part number checks out with what the manufacturer says it goes to, but those ports are definitely not in the exact same location (even thought hey are spaced apart from each other the same) and that interferes with the plastic on the hvac box.  did I get a 97+ or something?

Not sure which one you got there. However, if your going to return it, get the plate and fin design vs the tube and fin. Four seasons makes a nice plate and fin that fits with slight mods. Done a couple now that way and it works great

Where did you source that evaporator? ( It's not a 97+ XJ type, BTW.)

amazon.  technically I didn't order it.  but I did find it and send her the link.  the overall size is good and the ports are good, just a bit off in location.

I'm probably just going to trim the plastic a bit.  the tubes will fit out the firewall just fine and I was planning on replacing that gasket with a custom cut piece anyway.

I have plenty of leftover oem gasket material if you’d like some.
