Re: strange cooling
OK so I spent most of Friday afternoon and some of Saturday morning putzing with the A/C. I decided rather than modifying the radiator header AGAIN I would go back to my original idea and stack the condensers. I got another condenser to match the one already in there,. the screw holes in the top and...

Re: strange cooling
So when I get home I will put the gauges back on the windshield and drive it to see what is happening. Should I bleed off enough refrigerant to get it to cycle the clutch, if it is overcharged as I recall that can affect the nozzle temp. Not knowing what the capacity of this condenser might it help ...

Re: strange cooling
I looked at the system Tuesday afternoon and found that i had not tightened the inlet connection on the condenser, you get old and your brain leaks. I put a new o ring in it evacuated it and put it under can pressure, sprayed it with a soap solution and no bubbles so went ahead and charged it up. I ...

Re: strange cooling
OK so I got a pulley from CVF racing, it is a AMCL2WP. It fits some model(s) of AMC and Jeep. The pulley is just over 6 inches but the backset and pulley spacing is almost perfect, i just needed to space it out .060 to get the belts lined up and do a little grinding on the pump ribs. I was going to ...

Re: strange cooling
I just had a conversation with cvs racing. They have a ton of pulleys I just need to get the accurate measurements of the existing pulley. The measurements I have are estimates holding a tape in there with the pulley on the engine. Once I have the accurate measurements I will also check with march. ...

Re: strange cooling
I realize that the pulley does not need to be Pontiac just needs the right dimensions. Just thought about it. If I can find the right size pulley with a longer offset could I put a spacer behind it? Wonder what diameter that mopar pulley is? As near as I can tell trying to reach all the way down the...

Re: strange cooling
Yep, when I was putting this thing together the size of that pulley never even entered my mind. Been away from the business for too long, or maybe not long enough depending on your point of view. I do know that this Indian will probably be my last car, I do not think that I have another build in me....

Re: strange cooling
OK I have a NEW parallel tube condenser added to the new evaporator. I spent the last week modifying the radiator header, trying desperately to protect the new paint from the mig welder splatter and the grinder, so the evaporator is now behind the header about 3/4 inch in front of the radiator. I re...

Re: strange cooling
What year range of crown vic is the factory PF, I can ignore the trans cooler if I can make it fit. Let me rephrase that, I can make it fit but with how much surgery? For most of the installation I had the front sheet metal off doing the rust thing (the joys of an eastern car). I would rather not do...

Re: strange cooling
OK so I figured out the clutch issue at freeway speeds. The air is spinning the electric fan and it is generating enough current to back feed and keep the clutch engaged. Hows that for weird? So bottom line is that I need to isolate the fan on its own relay so it can't back feed. The other issue is ...
