    R134a conversion port "Schrader" valve doesn't come out ???

    So, last week I drove my car to work and the AC quit blowing cold on the way home. Yesterday I started poking around and as soon as I took off the cap from the port on the back of the compressor, it hissed out 134. OK, so far easy enough. But when I tried to tighten the valve, it didn't move and...

    Why is my AC box condensing and dripping?

    Both the car and the AC have run MUCH better since I evacuated and replaced the dryer. No more getting hot in traffic/at stop lights and AC is blowing cooler. However, and this started before I made the repair- The bottom of the heater box is getting super cold, almost icy to the touch, and...

    How many 12oz cans of R134a in a 73 RV2 system?

    Continuing my pressure switch replacement thread here. Vacuum held overnight. I was advised (by the parts store) 3.5 cans. 3 cans had 20 pounds (psi?) on the low side and just over 200 on the high side. Blowing just under 50 degrees. Added that 4th can and 22# low side 210# high side...

    AC pressure switch reccomendations?

    Where did my 134a escape from?

    Last year before it got cold, I was talking with a neighbor while my 73 idled in their driveway with the AC on. My neighbor pointed to the car, and there was a puff of gas coming from the passenger's side of the grill. Turns out the AC lost it's charge. Fast forward to yesterday >>>> I now...

    A/C receiver -dryer popped on 134a convert system. Need special?

    Gasket (I think) vented all the gas. Thinking about getting a new unit. Any thing I need to be aware of? This is a factory RV2 R12 system that was converted to R134a some time ago. Is there anything different between a 134a receiver/dryer and a stock part? TIA

    Stock 318 runs 30 degrees hotter with AC on- is this normal?

    Last year I put in a mechanical temp gauge (factory gauge was horribly off calibration). It runs at 165-170 degrees. I know, but I checked it against an infrared thermometer and it was within 2 degrees. So anyway, If I run the AC (all stock RV-2 but with 134a professional conversion), it gets...

    small block H2O pump bolts into water jackets

    Hey guys, I looked through six pages of search results and cant find it. I have a 67 FSM, a Dakota Haynes and three Motor's manuals plus 12 pages of googling. Nothing. I swear I've seen it many times. Anyway, the first time I did the water pump on the Dakota, I put gasket sealer on all the...
