Ed, thanks for replying, ironically the left front cylinder is the only one I replaced. when doing the initial rebuild I took all the cylinders apart and cleaned and inspected them and found nothing wrong, so I reinstalled them. Not long after everything was back together, and the car was...
Hi Ed, I am a bit late to your thread on this subject. I was also doing my brakes at about the same time you were doing yours. Mine is power drum system that is the size as yours and when I finished everything was fine for a short time and then I noticed it started pulling to the left. Like you...
Well, got back to it a few days ago and pulled 28in. vacuum for 45-60 minutes and it held steady overnight and during the next day, so I was confident the system was tight. Tried to charge system with refrigerant and engine running and the compressor would not engage. Had a reading of 30psi, on...
No, mine did not come with that info on the label, however, I finally dug deep in the Sanden site to find they are only concerned with the the % of pag oil to the volume of refrigerant. The volume of the entire system is not a concern until you get to very long hoses being used in system.They...

All major components were new while using original suction and discharge fittings, and the original liquid line. All other fittings and hoses were bought from COLD HOSE. I was able to cut and crimp the fittings and I'm very pleased with the final results. Bought a hydraulic assist crimper from...
Finally have all the components on hand to begin assembling a replacement system for the original a/c system. Everything is brand new. The new compressor is Sanden model SD5S14. The instructions state that the " New Sanden compressors are shipped with all the oil required for a normal OEM system...
Welcome aboard Jim, enjoyed many long weekends at Hershey Park with wife and kids during the '80s. Beautiful part of the country. Good luck with your project.
I was 7 or 8, Creature from the Black Lagoon. Only monster movie that really scared me. I loved swimming in the lakes and river that we went to, after this movie, not so much. After a couple of months I was sure it was all made up, OR was it real ?
