However the EPR works I am impressed. This thing is spitting out air temp in the 30's with ambient temps in the 80's Don't know what it will do when we hit triple digits but what I remember about the average system of the time this one seems to be among the best. Probably a mute point now as it is w...

A friend of a friend managed to come up with a wiring diagram for a 66 Dodge. It was close enough that I managed to find the wire on the firewall side of the bulkhead plug. Once found it was relatively easy to trace and fix. The diagram shows the clutch wire going directly from the control to the cl...

It has been common practice for years in residential and commercial installations to install a filter just outside the compressor assembly on the high pressure line. I can only guess that the reason it never caught on in automotive is that there is no gain.

Just re-read my last rant and a huge apology is in order. First it was not directed at anyone on this forum. Sometime around the 17th I went to bed feeling lousy and the next morning woke up with a temp of 102+ had that for 3 days and for obvious reasons no one would come near me. Dr finally sent me...

I started out trying to do a favor for a friend and the more information I get the more it seems that I have stepped into a pit of quicksand. Here is where I am presently at. I have opened up all the connections to replace the 55 year old o rings. While open I did a simple flush on the evaporator an...

Pardon my ignorance but "barrier hoses"? Looking at the system the hoses look like the originals.

Since I replaced all the orings I did flush out the evap and condenser best I could with what I have to work with probably not perfect but better than nothing.

Finally got back to the Chrysler, been a while since I have screwed with any of this. Went to the parts house to get a few items and found that there is more than one pag oil. Which one do I want for this V2 compressor, or does it make a difference?

It is a Newport which I believe is a C body. It is a factory air, still has the airtemp sticker on the rear window, V2 compressor. That being said is there a shaft seal available that is 134 compatible. As long as I am going this far might as well go for the gusto. As memory serves the shaft seals w...

Forgot to mention that it was converted to 134 before I ever saw it. O rings? I have not broken down any hose connections but I remembered these as having flare connections. If they are o ring connections I will break them all down. Should I use the green o rings? It does have a sight glass so the c...

I have a 65 Chrysler presently sitting in my side yard. It is a limited use driver that belongs to a friend in Australia, she drives it anytime she is in the States. The likelihood of her needing it anytime soon is slim to none, so I am fixing all the little irritating things that always exist in a ...
