Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has reproduced an updated manual slide controller for the Gen 1 vintage air system in my 69 Camaro? Bought this kit a long time ago and thought I could use an updated controller. Not sure what to do.

VA make a replacement controller that replaces the original GM controller.
Dakota Digital make really nice controller also, it matches the VHX DD gauges.

Is it still for a manual slide control? I tried looking on VA site but couldn't find one.

Gen1, like cable controlled? You are stuck with what you have if that is the case.

Awe that sucks! Maybe I should sell my kit and update.

You could probably sell The gen 1 kit to someone pretty easy like over at camaros.net. I had a gen 1 and converted to gen IV when they came out a few years ago. Besides the controller difference (which I thought was kinda of a PIA), the fan output was better. With the gen iv, you can convert your stock controls over or change to a 3 knob or the DD VHX one. I have the 3 knob one and like it a lot.

Another thing to think about with the gen iv, is you can route your hoses differently (cleans it up). I have mine routed through the old blower motor hole and the pass side kick panel.
