:yelwacko: Hey Cliff: Welcome to AFM. Great site with lots of friendly, knowledgeable people.
SPeace-ATL is right on. :bigthumbsup That hose can get clogged with junk. In addition, Ford didn't do a very good job when they vented it through the floor. Mine was brittle and actually got cut where it went through the tunnel. It caused water to get into the passenger compartment. Get under the car and take a look. If necessary, the hose is replaceable. Let us know if you make out OK.
On a side note, I lived in Atlanta for 15 years. Great place. Would love to get back there some day. The "left coast" here is a little different.
Even the traffic on 285, 75, 85 & 400 would be a welcome change from this 24 hour a day gridlock. :kooky:
Thanks for the insight. I have attached an image that is of the hose and appears to be an easy fix. Thanks again:yelwacko: Hey Cliff: Welcome to AFM. Great site with lots of friendly, knowledgeable people.

I figured it out. The replacement hose that was ordered does have an inside rubber area that appears to have to pinch the male tube of the evaporator hose so that it will stay in place. However, once because the hose that the evaporator hose connects to is short, it appears that the water gets backed up inside of the tube resulting in an overflowing. I took an exacto knife and cut several of the "rubber catch triangles" inside of the new tube out and now the condensation flows much better to the underside of the car.I'm thinking that the 66 Mustang I had that came with A/C back in the day had a spring-type compression clamp on the upper end of that hose.
It has been so long now. I can't be sure, but I seem to recall having problems with my hose leaking because the clamp pinched through the thin rubber hose.
I owned it from 67 through 72 and rememberl dealing with that hose on multiple occasions.
I have an A/C kit for my 65, but must admit that it doesn't cool very well in that box on the shelf in my garage.
